false 1233434 1 Filled with great ideas and enthralling art activities, <I>Young at Art</I> introduces parents and caregivers to a fascinating world that Montessori teachers will find wonderfully familiar. Author Susan Striker created the delightfully different <I>Anti-Coloring Book series</I> and now turns her considerable talents to explaining concepts of child development in a manner that all of us can enjoy. She passionately believes that children can use artistic tools and methods as gateways to all forms of learning, from vocabulary building to early math skills and improved dexterity, and cautions parents to rethink the way we look at art materials. Pipe cleaners form wire sculptures far more detailed than their typical role as bug antenna, and toddlers can have a better experience painting with only one or two colors than they would with an entire palette that instantly turns a muddy brown. Including a wide range of group and individual activities for all age ranges (and even songs to sing during cleanup time), this book is a priceless addition to an art-loving family. <I>Jill Lightner</I> 1222038 11 10 2001 Young at Art: Teaching Toddlers Self-Expression, Problem-Solving Skills, and an Appreciation for Art total:31|5:9|4:13|3:8|2:1|1:0| 31 123 55 8 5 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 10:36:25 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 16 10:43:24 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 17:23:11 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 19:19:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri May 08 12:55:50 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 12:57:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Fri Feb 01 16:58:11 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 17:00:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 20:11:58 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 20:15:12 -0800 2008
Extremely progressive, which I like, but its written in a bit of a beat it over your head repetitive fashion.

Nonetheless, good for skimming and gleaning...more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Aug 07 14:47:01 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 07 14:49:18 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Oct 08 18:21:12 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 12:12:49 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 18:21:12 -0700 2008 4 1 false false Wed Sep 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 11:03:30 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 07:31:19 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Oct 27 15:34:14 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 15:34:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 06 12:21:42 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 12:21:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 20 16:40:45 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 16:40:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Sep 12 20:23:25 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 20:23:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 22 19:51:28 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 19:51:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 09 01:07:49 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 01:07:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 06 08:19:45 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 08:19:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 01 21:56:17 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 21:56:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 20:55:21 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 20:55:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 10:14:09 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 10:14:09 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 07 21:59:39 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 07 21:59:39 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon May 25 21:38:24 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 21:38:24 -0700 2009
