Squeaky Chalk: And Other Fun Things to Draw (and Do) When There's Nothing to Do!

Grandparents are always looking for fun activities to do with their grandchildren...This book and a giant box of chalk provide lots of hours of "togetherness" laughter and fun. "Squeaky Chalk" is a wonderfully simple guide for kids to draw many ideas easily- instant results with no frustration. Thank you, Joy, for your series of books.

As an adult, I had fun copying the pages and learning a new style of drawing. The story and characters are charming and I plan on getting the other books written by Joy Sikorski.

This is a great book to teach children how to draw using simple shapes and lines. The step by step diagrams lead to fun animals, people and food, to name a few. There are even instructions for extras like trees and snow. Scattered thoughout the book are jokes, short stories, simple crafts, science and history facts, and even recipes, each relating to the drawings. All of these make this small book of 152 pages one that can be enjoyed by children alone, or with their parents, for 365 days and beyond.
