Play with Matisse - A Creative Activity Kit

Play with Matisse inspires imagination and cooperation with hands-on activities drawn from the artist’s story. Work alongside a creative partner or learn to craft a lively paper “garden” filled with vivid blossoms and fluttering butterflies. Alice Harman’s text highlights the importance of persistence and joy in artistic pursuits. Suitable for children aged 5 and older, this craft kit provides a distinctive and rewarding creative journey.

The kit includes a concertina foldout that guides readers through step-by-step activities, starting with a simple color-focused exercise and building up to a big collaborative project using found materials. The foldout also demonstrates how to create art with the four kiss-cut stencil sheets and three die-cut picture pockets.
