Beatrix Potter
Beatrix Potter was much more than a storyteller. She was a gifted scientist, farmer, and artist. In this art box, children will learn about her extraordinary life and work.
The box begins with a biography of Potter and an overview of a few of her most famous pieces of art. Then kids can dive into the art projects! All of your favorite characters are here: Peter Rabbit, Jeremy Fisher, Mr. McGregor, and more! Kids will learn how to trace using carbon transfer paper. They'll mimic Beatrix Potter's gentle watercolor painting style. Plus, they'll get to roll out some clay vegetables for Mr. McGregor's garden and use shrink paper to bring their favorite characters to life!
