Books About Art for Kids

We’re always looking for more ways to explore art with our kids, including our favorite art resources. If you haven’t explore them yet, the Touch the Art Series by Amy Guglielmo is a big hit at our house!

One thing we noticed is that we had a few books that focused on sharing Art with books during the Exchange this year that I can’t wait to share with you!

Thank you so much to our blogging friends for their wonderful ideas and contributions!
