Kids can take finger painting to exciting new levels with this colorful, easy-to-use guide. Simple step-by-step directions show how to add just a few details that transform ordinary fingerprints into flying birds, funny faces, sailboats, snowmen, and scores of other fanciful creatures and objects.
Children will also learn how to form bigger pictures with lines, spirals, and waves. From a group of mountain goats and a garden of strawberries to a cluster of angels, a cityscape, and a speeding train, this book abounds in examples and suggestions that are certain to inspire young imaginations.
What a fun way to get kids excited about art! My girls and I loved this book. This is a great activity for kids and their parents to do together. Making crafts with their finger prints is fun for them and also a nice keepsake to share with family and friends. I think we might be making our own Christmas cards this year with fingerprint drawings. This one gets five of five stars.

Overall rating ☆☆☆☆
Get in shape and learn to draw funny characters and everyday objects! This full-color guide encourages young imaginations by exploring the wealth of possibilities behind basic geometric shapes. Using the fun stencils provided, kids can learn to transform a circle into a boat, a triangle into a house, a rectangle into a building, and more, for a total of 125 different drawings. It's easy since simple directions take you through every step of the way.
I am going to start off by saying, I am not an artist, at all. My drawing skills are not even as good as my children's. But this book made drawing simple art from shapes I do know how to draw. Though I didn't love this one as much as the fingerprint one, I did enjoy it. My girls were even able to understand the simple instructions and there were so many different things to learn to draw. Overall this one gets four stars.
