This Halloween Spook-tacular art is all about creating special memories with an easy walk-through tutorial. These fun projects (perfect for ages 5-12) will help inspire children's imaginations and will help them learn new artistic techniques along the way!
Each project will cover elements of art, like SHAPE, LINE, PATTERN, & SYMMETRY, all while keeping your children engaged in creative activities.
There are opportunities for children to create their own unique monsters, either by changing their color and shapes, or deciding what kind of features they’d like to have for the face and body.
The inspiration guide helps children can see all the different options for building their monsters.
