Mama Manifesto: Friday Giveaway: Little Miss Matched

Now, following the first two books in the series, Pajama Party in a Box and the Marvelous & Fabulous Me Quiz Box, is a new title that takes full advantage of LittleMissMatched's emphasis on creativity and individuality. The Artist in Me! contains everything an aspiring young artist needs to develop her talent, improve her skills, and discover how to express herself as only she can. The 96-page book is filled with dozens of tutorials on the principles of drawing. But it also goes farther, giving the reader strategies for learning to see as an artist--and think as an artist. It reminds readers that there are no mistakes and celebrates the crooked lines as well as the straight. Included in the kit is a complete set of tools: 3 drawing pencils, an artist's sketchbook, a set of vine charcoal, oil pastels, sanding pad, blending sticks, color wheel, kneaded eraser, and assorted charcoal drawing paper.

To be entered to win this book for your favorite artist, leave us a comment answering this question:

"What are the art supplies you keep stocked up in your house for your kids to create with?"

at the beg of everyschool year when things are cheap we stock up on all the good deals that will not dry out like colored pencils, crayons, all sorts of papers, pencils and paints. During the summer they can take notebook paper that is leftover and make scrapbooks and journals and recover folders and press flowers and put in whatever they want as a memory

My oldest daughter is only 2 1/2, so she hasn't had access to most of the art supplies that I have stashed away yet. For now, she can immediately get to her colored pencils, crayons, and coloring books. We also get out chalk, paint, markers, and stickers for something new and different once in a while.

Thanks!
