    Well written and clear. The activities are simple, the results are not. Highly recommend.
  

*by R***G on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2020*

I've always been a big fan of the Tinkerlab books and website posts. As an illustrator, my own experience with art materials is vast, but my experience in teaching children about them is not. This book does an excellent job of laying out the concept of 'Invitations to Create' as an opportunity for children to explore materials in their own way, allowing for open-ended creativity and thinking. Although it contains 52 specific activities, there is clearly an infinite number of additional ones you can come up with after completing these.Something I've found in my own work that I really like about Art Starts is the limitation of supplies. Despite having an entire studio of art supplies, my best work often comes through choosing a very limited collection of tools and using only those for a specific project. The projects in this book do that too— Each Art Start is a small collection of diverse materials that turn the children into not just artists, but explorers and thinkers too. This is very different than giving your child an art set and telling them to make art. This is: "Here are some twigs, beads, and yarn— I wonder what you can make with them!"The other thing I really like about this book is that it emphasizes the importance of setting up the projects in a way that the child is not constantly being hindered with "NO!" There is no correct response— success is the child exploring independently and by taking a few moments to set up a space where the child can explore without being punished for a little mess, everyone wins.I am so thankful that I’ve been able to use the Tinkerlab approach to creativity with my own children. It encourages problem solving, independent thinking, self motivation, and the idea that the goal often isn’t a finished product— exploration is its own reward.  So, clear away the important stuff, put the kids in clothes that can get a few drips of paint on them, and then let your children experience the joy and satisfaction of exploring these Art Starts.Well written and clear. The activities are simple, the results are not. Highly recommend.

    Super Useful and Easy to Follow
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020*

This book is such a HUGE time and sanity saver! It's so handy to have this thoughtfully curated treasure trove of ideas around when I'm blanking on what to do or how to start, and there is not a lot of prep work involved because all the required materials are pretty basic or we have something around the house to sub in. And it's not just for kids - I'm always totally inspired to start creating, too, since there's no right or wrong with these open-ended invitations! I love that there are multiple variations on a project theme so no one ever gets bored. Buying for all my friends!

    Art-Creativity Connection
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021*

What great advice for caregivers and their young charges. The first 'take away'--set up an 'invitation to create'--such a great start! The next take away--set up YES PLACES--somewhere to be messy and, yes, creative.This is an art book. Yet it is also a primer for those who would make STEM their careers.I sure wish I had this resource when I was young. I am so happy that today's youngsters do have it.Thank you Rachelle!
