More Halloween art activities

Just a reminder that you have until next Wednesday, October 11 to enter my Halloween book giveaway contest to win one of the four copies of Usborne Book’s Halloween Activities!

If drawing is more your child’s speed, you may want to check out Ed Emberley’s Drawing Book of Halloween. For ages 4 to 8, these books will teach you and your child how to draw creepy Halloween shapes like witches, bats and monsters. Ed Emberly has come out with dozens of drawing books including the Drawing Book of Animals, the Make a World Drawing Books, and the Drawing Book of Faces.

Some Halloween themed Ed Emberley drawing books are:

• Ed Emberley’s Drawing Book of Weirdos
• Ed Emberley’s Big Green Drawing Book (including Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein, Dracula and Dracula’s car)
• Ed Emberley’s Big Orange Drawing Book (for pumpkins, jack-o-laterns, spooks, devil, skull, varpires, Schneider the Halloween Spider, an ogre, and Halloween cats)

Or just check out Emnberly’s story book Go Away, Big Green Monster! – a classic on helping young children get over their fear of monsters – something highly needed this Halloween season.

   My children love to read and draw. My seven year old likes to read bed time stories to mommy and little brother. Daddy sometimes if he is still awake.

   I have loved Ed Emberly since I was a little girl. We even have an E.E. book checked out from the library right now. I think these books can inspire kids to try to draw other things. You can think about how things around you are made of shapes, and take a chance drawing something else. Drawing is all about seeing!

   Thanks for your post!
