Bushel & Peck Books - Splatter this Art Book

Splatter this Art Book

Young artists build confidence through 45 messy, playful projects

Kids need permission to make a glorious mess, and this book gives it to them in 112 pages of joyfully chaotic creativity. Bushel & Peck's Splatter This Art Book throws out the rules that make art feel precious and intimidating, replacing them with 45 activities designed for smearing, folding, stamping, and yes, splattering. Pages become canvases for fingerprint frenzies, torn-paper portraits, and bubble wrap prints. The book organizes these experiments into five thematic sections, Scribble & Doodle, Smudge & Splatter, Cut & Collage, Print & Press, and Big Art Energy, each encouraging different techniques and materials.

What makes this approach work is how it reframes "mistakes" as discoveries. Tilting the page to race paint drips or smashing crayons sideways aren't accidents; they're deliberate methods that build confidence through experimentation. The 9.3 x 7.5-inch paperback format handles vigorous use while staying manageable for young hands working through collage layers or group graffiti spreads. Every child transforms this interactive journal into something completely personal, their own record of bold choices and unexpected results. Perfect for wild-hearted makers ages 7-10 who need art to feel like adventure rather than assignment.
