Let’s make a paper masterpiece! Join Henri Matisse and his friends as they embark on a series of arty adventures.
Jump into the bold and bright world of Henri Matisse, one of history’s most playful artists. This is the first in a series of creative play kits for budding artists ages five and up. The kit includes a concertina foldout that guides readers through step-by-step activities, starting with a simple color-focused exercise and building up to a big collaborative project using found materials. The foldout also demonstrates how to create art with the four kiss-cut stencil sheets and three die-cut picture pockets.
Play with Matisse encourages collaboration and imagination. Many of the activities take inspiration from Matisse's life―partner with your own artist’s assistant or learn how to grow a paper “garden” filled with bright blooms and fluttering butterflies. At the heart of author Alice Harman’s text is an important message for young creatives: never give up and always have fun! This is a craft kit with a difference.
Explore a charming collection of plush toys, wooden blocks, books, musical instruments, art supplies, and educational games from brands like Plan Toys, Maileg, Djeco, Magna Tiles, and more. Perfect for sparking creativity, open-end play, and keeping little ones entertained, these toys make great stocking stuffers, birthday gifts, or thoughtful presents for any occasion.
