Be inspired and delighted by Collage Workshop for Kids, a colorful art instruction book on collage techniques for children—made in cooperation with The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art.

Collage Workshop for Kids pairs essays by educators from The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art with instructions on collage technique. Chapters explore favorite art themes for kids and demonstrate how to work with colored tissue paper, newspaper, fabric and buttons, painted paper, torn paper, and more.

In each chapter, Reggio-inspired author and teacher Shannon Merenstein explores each technique with original ideas. Members of the museum’s education staff offer expert advice on creating art with children.

Everything you need to know about collage is in this book, making it a great reference for teachers, librarians, and parents.

Forget the kids, I want to do the workshops!!!
This is fabulous book for all age groups - young children and older and for those that are young at heart.
The book is divided into workshops, Faces, Places and Spaces, Nature, Contrast, Construction, Wearables, Tell a Story and Experimental with Material.
There are different aspects within each workshop that concentrates on various fields of creativity. There is just so much to love in this book - there is so much to make - so much imagination to explore. I love this book!!
Great one for art teacher or parents with children who are always on computers.

This is a resourceful book about collage for children. Just like any typical craft book, the authors first introduce the medium, the tools, materials, and basic techniques which required for creating collage projects.
There are plenty of collage ideas with good instructions. Each chapter supplemented by amble of pictures which help children to know ahead of time what the projects are all about. Most of the projects are simple and engaging, and art materials are easy (and economical!) to find or to obtain. "Collage Workshop for Kids" is a great book for children of all age! I can't wait to work on few projects with my kid this coming summer when we run out of things to do at home.
