My kids love art, drawing, and being creative. Being a home schooling family, I love coming across products, videos, and other things that will bring my kids into the "educational realm" and encourage them to grow. I was sent the DVD: Art House volume 1: Basic Shapes and Animals to review and I thought this DVD was super!
The DVD is hosted by Teacher Emily and her Art House gang. Emily teaches how easy it is to draw fish, monkeys, birds, dogs, and more. The animation of the animals is great, and the music and colors used in this DVD is wonderful! My kids loved watching the animals, and then watching Emily draw them. My kids were fascinated with the DVD. The animation is by Brad Abelson (The Simpsons), and the music is from the award-winning composer Peter Scaturro.
There will be future titles in the series that will be released in 2010 (vol. 2: Start your Engines, vol. 3: On the Farm, and vol. 4: Under the Sea).
This DVD comes complete with printable coloring book pages, which are great to give kids to encourage them to be artistic.
Recommended for ages 3 and up, Art House Volume 1: Basic Shapes and Animals is available at InTheArtHouse.com and www.amazon.com.
Endorsed by KIDS FIRST!, the initial title in the series Volume 1: Basic Shapes and Animals is available now for a suggested retail price of $17.99.

For them to draw on foam craft shapes that we can embellish with glitter glue or other foam pieces, then glue magnets on the back to make magnet Christmas gifts.
Actually we have made some snowmen that way, and they look great.

We like to cut up magazines and create collages or find new ways to paint (like using marbles).

I homeschool and enjoy craft projects with the girls (and baby boy). One of my favorites is charcol sketches. It can get messy, but all good art is messy.

My son has been enjoying trying to draw characters from books he reads, but wants help (unfortunately for him, that means my art!). So we each draw our own pictures, but he copies how I break down the drawing - that's why I think this video would be great (for both of us!).
