Young At Art is a fabulous book, worth owning, full of ways to teach art to little ones.

I have a three-year-old daughter who still benifits from coloring IN the coloring books (well, within the lines anyway), but I also heard there are many people against regular coloring books. (After a certain age/stage, I think,) they feel that kids should not simply color IN, but actually learn to draw. I forgot what they called those coloring books. Maybe something like the UNcoloring book, but I cant’ be too sure.

They are called the Anti-Coloring Book: http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Coloring-Book-Creative-Activities-Ages/dp/0805068422/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3O29RQ4XFVIW9&colid=1J4D5EANMPIDV

They are by the same author as Young at Art and we like them!

Thank you, aangeles, for clarifying! It’s been forever since I knew what they were called.
