<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Activities and projects that inspire confidence, creativity, and connection"--Cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Packed with joyful and educational art experiences for kids, <i>Play, Make, Create</i> offers fun and engaging imaginative activities focused on the fun and reward of creating, not just producing a final project. </b> <p/> Founded in a <b>process-based philosophy</b>, this unique book includes <b>more than 40 activities</b> set up as invitations, or thoughtfully designed <b>prompts to explore, create, and play</b>. Author Meri Cherry has more than 20 years of teaching experience, and her blog (mericherry.com) has set the standard for <b>meaningful and enriching process art experiences</b> that are both manageable for parents, and appealing and fun for kids. <p/><i>Play, Make, Create</i> begins with a <b>guide for parents, teachers, and facilitators</b> that discusses how to set up materials in an inviting way, how to present an activity and talk to kids about art, and how to stock the right materials for ongoing creativity. Also included are <b>best-practice tips</b> for clean-up, answers to frequently asked questions, and more. <p/> The book offers four types of creative invitations: Invitations to <b>Explore</b> (easy ideas for fun and play), Invitations to <b>Create</b> (open-ended, craft-based activities), Invitations to <b>Play</b> (sensory-based activities), and <b>Big Projects</b> (ongoing process-art activities). Most feature <b>basic materials and tools</b> (paper, inexpensive paints, pencils, glue) that require little setup. <p/> Among the projects and activities you'll find: <ul><li>A <b>collage project</b> that takes a no-rules approach to creating with cut-out drawings and pictures.</li><li>Ideas for <b>building a science station</b> that allow kids to experiment with kitchen cabinet supplies such as soap, measuring spoons, cotton balls, and baking soda.</li><li>A prompt to <b>draw a self-portrait</b>, using a mirror (parents can draw themselves, too).</li><li>Instructions for making <b>homemade colored playdough</b>.</li></ul> The activities in <i>Play, Make, Create</i> promote <b>active, meaningful, and socially interactive learning</b>. Children are encouraged to <b>wonder, experiment, and use critical thinking</b>--and most of all, <b>enjoy the process</b>. By following their own inclinations and making their own choices, <b>children gain self-confidence</b> and hone their problem-solving skills. <p/> Get <i>Play, Make, Create</i> and give children the <b>gift of creativity</b>! <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Meri Cherry blurs the lines between art, science, play, and crafts in a beautiful and inviting way that will help kids everywhere be more creative while having a blast."--<i><b>The Artful Parent</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Meri Cherry</b> has over 20 years of teaching experience, working with children through process art--art that is all about the making and the doing, rather than the finished product.
