Children's Books

Some good Children's books I've read recently which feature Art &/or Drawing as a topic (try local libraries): 





The Pencil - Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman
Cave Baby - Julia Donaldson and Emily Gravett

Harold and the Purple Crayon - Crockett Johnson

Bears Magic Pencil- Anthony Browne

Potato People

After reading a sweet book by Pamela Allen Called 'The Potato People' we were inspired to make our own using toothpicks, dressmaking pins and a marker. Like in the book, we'll place him in the windows until he grows shoots, then plant him in the garden.

There is some material that can be downloaded here to further link activities related to this book to Literacy, Visual Arts, Music and Dance.
