What Readers Are Saying
"Love the concept and the variety of subjects. My kids (8 and 10) each do one lesson after dinner. Only wish it came in hardcover โ the paperback gets a lot of use in our house! Still totally worth it."
"As a teacher, this workbook is a lifesaver. I use it for 5-minute warm-ups at the start of every art class, and it's perfect for sub plans. The spiral binding lays flat and the lessons are foolproof. Kids love the quick wins."
"This is exactly what I needed. I never had time to sit and draw for an hour, but 5 minutes? I can do that. Three weeks in and I've drawn every day. The bear lesson was my favorite so far!"
