Helen Lloyd -Te Papa Press - NZ RRP - $29.99
                                            Publication date: mid March 2013

Forget those boring old-fashioned colouring books!
Let the world of New Zealand art unleash children’s imaginations. Lateral thinking and creativity truly blossom when combined with robust technical skills – and this book delivers!

Leading art educator Helen Lloyd, Senior Education Programmer at Te Papa,  developed and tested all the activities in this superb, 184-page publication, in consultation with Acting Senior Art Curator Sarah Farrar.
  
As well as highlights from the National Art Collection reproduced in full colour, there’s a feast of new works for kids by leading contemporary artists, specially commissioned for this book. Tried and tested on real children, this book will have adults reaching for their coloured pens too.

The book is designed primarily for children aged 5-8 but will appeal to children of any age who like art and are interested in drawing and being creative.
