Book Reviews of Color Magic Sticker Play Book (Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Book Review: Big sturdy book of structured sticker play - gets at the basics of form.
Summary: 5 Stars

The Color Magic Sticker Play Book is a big sturdy colorful book of simple schematic scenes and figures printed on a glossy surface that lets the included stickers adhere and then release to be used over and over again. The library of stickers is a compendium of simple geometric shapes and bold primary colors. The scenes and figures on the printed pages directly (and non-verbally) communicate the message that kids are to doodle using the shapes as components for making their own representations. This is a terrific artistic activity which encourages free form play while teaching little artists about form (and color - but especially form). By making kids think of complex shapes as amalgams of simple geometric shapes it teaches them to look for form and gives them a clinic on how to see and represent. This is bound to show up in their drawing.

This is the ideal gift for a certain type of kid - and you probably already know who they are: the compulsively drawing artist child. I have one of those (the other couldn't care less). With that kid - this was a grand slam home run.

Summary of Color Magic Sticker Play Book (Metropolitan Museum of Art)

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
 
In association with The Metropolitan Museum of Art

 

A hands-on way for children to learn about color—and express their creativity!

 

With this innovative book, young artists experience the wonder of color and learn through discovery how colors mix and change. By combining unique translucent stickers, one color on top of another, children can create new colors and then change them in an instant. The reusable stickers easily peel away from the special laminated pages so that a fresh “canvas? is always at the ready.

 

The more than two thousand stickers come in geometric shapes of various sizes, which can be arranged to create people, animals, airplanes, cars, and more. Each spread suggests a familiar setting such as home, a playground, a beach, and a farm, with a few illustrations started for inspiration. As children manipulate the circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, wedges, and ovals, they will begin to see the geometry of the world, as artists do.
