Painting: A Beginner's Guide

When kids open the heavy board covers of this miniature portfolio they'll find a small, information-packed, spiral-bound instruction book attached to its inside front cover and a pad of watercolor paper fastened to the back cover. The instruction book demonstrates the basics of watercolor painting. Attached to the portfolio's inner spine is a box of supplies for making watercolor pictures: watercolor cakes, brushes, and a receptacle for holding water. Here's a great take-along activity kit to keep children creatively occupied on car trips or for quiet-time fun.
