Scavenger Art[ Creative Challenges for Curious Kids by Lexi Rees Illustrated by Molly O'Donoghue #Review
Scavenger Art by Lexi Rees
Scavenger hunts are fun.
Drawing is fun.
Put them together for ★ SCAVENGER ART ★
This unique art-based activity book includes 52 scavenger hunts designed to
✓ encourage curious minds
✓ spark creativity
✓ practise mindfulness
✓ develop drawing skills
Perfect for ages 6 to 12.
This is an inventive resource which will appeal to ages 6 plus. It encourages children to look at the world around them more closely and notice what they see. Each page is divided into a grid of 9 squares, so there are spaces for 9 drawings. The grids are grouped in categories, such as 'My House', People, Birds, Insects and Animals.
I think that the simple format will appeal to children. It is a very visual medium and encourages mindfulness and noticing what is in the moment. It takes a fun approach and should spark creativity and develop drawings skills.
Cat and Mouse say: See it... draw it!
