I heard about this one - and with three girls getting ready for summer vacation, I'm getting nervous and think this book would come in handy!
My little niece and nephew and their mom would live this book. But, if I win, I might have to play with it first! Thanks for the chance!
My daughter would love this... but I might love it even more ;-)
I'm teaching an after school workshop on Artist Trading Cards (something I'm just getting into myself), and would love to have some techniques to help the kids explore their artistic sides (since I consider myself more of a crafter than an artist). It could be fun to have them try a new technique every week on their ATCs!
Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
That would be so nice for my school ( we are the first art and culture primary school in this Dutch town!)
Ok, I am not ashamed to admit (maybe a little), but I would keep that for myself...haha.
This looks great! I love crafting with my class - this would be great inspiration for planning lessons!
i would love to have more ideas for encouraging the artistic side of my kiddos. thanks!
This would be great for our house and for my daughter's teachers.
oh I love the design!!!
As an artist I am always on the lookout for great kids art books and this one seems like lots of fun for both parent and child!

Have had my eye on this book as I'm always looking for inspiration.
Thanks!
This would be so helpful in coming up with the art projects I take once a week to the Boys and Girls Club after school! I'm feeling lucky!
Art is a favorite activity for noth mom and kids in our house. We would love this book!
I checked out a book called Drawing Lab (different author) from the library--only because they didn't have Art Lab for Kids! I would really love to win this copy! Thanks for the give-away.
I am an art teacher and a new mom. This book looks amazing! I am so excited for art filled afternoons at home at the kitchen table. I'll be waiting a while for my son though, he's only 2 months. I'll be getting started without him!
I would love to have this at home and get inspired to create with my daugther. fingers crossed
This book sounds like it would be so much fun! Thanks for the chance to win.

Pretty sure I would be the best auntie ever if I broke this out at the next sleepover!!!

My 12 year old would love this. I like to do art with her out of school as her teachers don't really appreciate her style of work, they are just very negative about it. We would have great fun with tis one. I already have some of the artlab books at my school.

This book seems to be an excellent source of ideas for workshops with kids in orphanages. I'm a founder of a social project called "MyDreamCity". You can read about our activities with kids here www.mydreamcity.org/news. It is an independent youth initiative and we're looking for new creative ideas for children's development. We keep up with Poppytalk posts and use its ideas very often! Thank you very much!
My three year old would love this (as would my 5 year old) he's a budding artist who loves to paint and create.
