The School Reading List

"Scavenger Art is a terrific activity book for ages 6-12. It really does cater for all of this vast age range in a fun, exploratory way that fits art and questions together in challenges." Bookmarks and stages

"What a wonderful book! It's easily accessible and adaptable for any circumstances, age, or even weather. An ideal present, this fun book would be appreciated by any child who loves to draw. Invaluable for both parents and educators, there are hours of enjoyment to be had within its pages." Art teacher

"It's perfect for rainy days when the kids are looking for something to do. Even though it's aimed at 6- to 12-year-olds, I think adults could get a lot out of the mindfulness aspect. I know I have. Scavenger Art would make a great present for any child you know with a creative and curious mind." Novel Kicks book blogger

"I know many parents are searching for ways to reduce their children's screen time, trying to find ways to keep their little ones occupied outside and inside, Scavenger Art is the perfect solution. This is such a unique and fun idea and one that would keep children and adults occupied for many an hour." Early years practitioner

"This book is something very unique and will make a great gift for an artistic and craft loving child aged 7-12. To be fair, I think anyone who likes to doodle, jot or draw would find delight in this." Like Herding Cats book blogger

"I find this to be the perfect resource for families and groups of children alike; if you have a fussy eater you can head to the Food section to get your child talking, thinking, handling and trying foods in order to do the activities. For the Outdoors section you get a chance to introduce children to parts of the outside world they may not have been exposed to yet. The topics will feed curious minds and start up conversations you couldn't imagine having with young children, making it a truly valuable book which I feel belongs in every home, setting and office which focuses on children." Childcare professional

"Art is no different to English or Maths in that the skills need to be explicitly taught. There's so much to be gained from children watching an adult model the drawing process whilst they narrate the steps and Scavenger Art lends itself beautifully to adult and child working together." Primary school teacher
