Learn how to set up an organized and inviting home art space for kids and keep them engaged with over 55 art prompts that encourage skill-building and creative exploration.

With an inviting, open setup of art supplies, kids can easily access tools and materials to work through ideas, tinker, discover, solve problems, learn techniques, and create anything they can imagine. Your art space becomes a creative workshop that allows children the opportunity to explore open-ended materials with a sense of independence, confidence, and responsibility.

In The Art Playroom, author Megan Schiller--a Reggio-inspired preschool teacher, art studio owner, and interior designer--guides you step by step through the process of creating an art space for your children and shares her simple approach to encourage creative exploration for years to come.

This book is for parents and caregivers of children ages 2-10, with tips on how to create an art space that works well for a variety of ages. The Invitations to Create offer over 55 ideas for setting up art prompts--categorized by skills and ages--that will spark a creative session with simple materials and minimal setup.

Hesitant about the potential mess? Megan provides a unique solution by combining her background in art education and interior design to help you set up a productive art space for your kids that is also organized, easy to clean up, and looks great!

You will learn:
  • How to set up an art studio for kids, step by step
  • How to customize your art space for specific ages, including toddlers, preschool-age kids, and tinkering- and making-focused older kids
  • How to introduce the materials to your child
  • How to keep your art space organized
  • How to keep your children engaged with open-ended art prompts

Invitations to Create focus on building skills such as:
  • Mastering tools such as scissors, stapler, hole puncher, and hammer
  • Fine motor and focus with beading, sewing, and droppers
  • Self-sufficiency with squeezing, pouring, and scrubbing practice
  • Writing with greeting cards, book-making, and comic strips
  • Collaboration with siblings and friends through shared projects
  • Science and investigation with chemistry and nature projects
  • Making toys and accessories such as clay creatures, dolls, and puzzles

The combination of having an open art studio and setting up invitations to create seamlessly weaves the creative process into children's daily lives to help them become self-sufficient makers and innovative thinkers. This book, The Art Playroom, is for anyone who wants to foster creativity, independence, and ingenuity in the next generation.
