The completely revised and updated edition of The Artful Parent book by Jean Van’t Hul is available now! This book will help you raise creative kids and fill your family’s life with fun art activities.
Why I Updated The Artful Parent Book
The original Artful Parent was a pretty good book, if I do say so myself, but it was first published in 2013 (written in 2011) and it was ready for a few updates, including the art materials recommendations and the resources. And as I started making the updates, I got a little carried away.
Okay, really carried away.
I ended up spending a good chunk of last year adding a couple of chapters, including one on drawing with confidence and creativity, revising and updating parts of the book, adding LOTS of new art activities and revising others, reshooting most of the photos, and getting a redesign.
I am so very lucky that my publisher, Roost Books, gave me the opportunity to edit and improve this book and so very happy with this completely revised and updated version of The Artful Parent.
If you’re not already familiar with the book, it’s called The Artful Parent: Simple Ways to Fill Your Family’s Life with Art & Creativity. The original was an Amazon Bestseller, winner of the Family Choice Award, and was translated into several other languages.
It’s taken on a life of its own and I hear from parents, grandparents, teachers, bloggers, and instagrammers all the time about the impact that it has had on their families, kids, lives, etc.
So anyway, this book is my baby. And as with any proud parent, I am super proud and excited to share it with you in it’s better, dressed up teenage version.

I want to encourage you to order the revised edition of The Artful Parent, especially if you have young children or work with them. Order the book for yourself. Order it for a friend or family member. Buy it for a teacher. Get it for a babysitter, nanny, caregiver. Order it as a baby shower gift.
