Creativity in a Book: New Relases from KLUTZ {Giveaway--2 Winners}

I can't get enough of the awesomesauce books/art activities from KLUTZ.  One of my favorite things about Soren getting older is that he's more capable of participating in and enjoying art making.  And KLUTZ books are a great way to jazz up the usual watercolors and crayons that seem to dominate our kitchen table.

Recently we had a chance to check out some of their latest offerings: Stamp Art
and Drawing the DC Universe.
Because Soren has just happened upon the appeal of stamps, thanks to both a set of alphabet stamps I picked up and his discovery of stamping plastic spider rings into play dough, he was eager to try out Stamp Art.
Stamp Art makes stamping simpler -- and more creative -- than ever. Stick the included shapes on the see-through acrylic block to create your own one-of-a-kind stamp design. Full of inspirational artwork and instruction, this stamp-right-in-it book shows how to create animals, flowers, houses, aliens... anything you can dream up.
Stamp Art is a wonderful, easy-to-use book that comes with colored pencils and shapes that you stick onto an acrylic block to create one-of-a-kind stamps.
There are tips for arranging the shapes to create animals and other images, but I like that the book gives kids plenty of room for their own creative inventions.

Though recommended for ages 8 and up, Stamp Art was still appealing to my 3 year old. I look forward to watching him grown into it.

Drawing the DC Universe, on the other hand, is too advanced for my preschooler (it's for ages 8+).  However that didn't stop him from poring over the book, particularly because he's entered his superhero phase.

It's great for teaching kids how to draw their favorite superheros.  As an art teacher, I actually recommend tracing for helping kids practice drawing lines.  I loved doing it as a kid, and think it helped me develop my drawing skills, as long as I had plenty of room for free drawing too.
Draw the DC Universe is a complete how-to-draw package, jammed with expert tips and techniques, tons of practice space, and of course, a universe of DC heroes and villains. The draw-right-in-it book comes with everything you need: a sketching pencil, a drawing marker, artist’s pencils in six colors, a big block eraser to fight crimes against the page, stencils, and translucent overlays scattered throughout for can’t-fail tracing activities. 
This video shows you more about how the book works:

  35. I think Roo would claim the stamp book and Jasper would go for the DC. He's actually starting to make recognizable drawings, which is a big leap. The jewelry books look right up Roo's and my alley. Especially the picture bracelets and clay books.
