The New Zealand Art Activity Book

Bursting with art activities, this fun new edition of the Art Activity Book aimed at young New Zealanders is sure to please – both children and their teachers and caregivers. This new edition of a much loved and used book includes reproductions of 51 historical and contemporary works from Te Papa’s art collection, new works commissioned from contemporary New Zealand artists, and art-based activities. The wide range of art activities is designed to introduce children to a variety of different creative processes. Kids’ imaginations can run wild as they explore new techniques while developing their understanding and enjoyment of art.
