If you’ve never heard that name – Hervé Tullet – you should fix it straight away. Hervé is a great artist and children books’ author. Hervé is an entertainer, a teacher, an inventor and a creative friend. I like his unusual view and approach to art teaching/learning techniques for little kids. Interesting, funny and playful. Boring is else. Just check those few positions down and you will understand why. Sensory, motor, coordination…something for little fingers, eyes, brains and creativity. For whole family.

This is the first book we used for introduce colours in our repertoire. A lot of “Press Here” and press there, shake this and turn that. Simple commands and a lot to discover. Totally interactive. Every action generate a reaction! Instructions of use are on every page and make the dots going crazy with your help. Entertaining and engaging (also grown ups) as hell.

 

Colour mixing for kids never was easier before with “The Game of Red, Yellow and Blue”. Do you want to teach about how to mix three primary colours and what the effect is like? Served. Cause and effect learning. Some easy shapes and a bit of text will make this position easy, fresh and handy in any moment, also as a bed time story.

 

“Press Here Game” – new look, new dimension. Entertain the whole family, not only the younger ones. With the game pieces you can easily teach counting goals and patterns. For preschoolers those can be useful to get familiar with token system used by many schools. Stretch fine motor skills and exercise memory. Parents Magazine Best Toys of 2014.

Our second one was “The Game in the Dark”. Wait for the dark, charge and admire. Double fun guaranteed. No text. Only your imagination. From 6 months baby up. No age limit. Basically no limit.

 

An unexpected mix of thoughts. “The Big Book of Art”.A bit difficult as it’s all about drawings, colours, shapes and creative chaos. We are still waiting to be ready to approach this kind of abstract thinking and pattern mixing.

If you are about to bring into use some adjectives why don’t you try this starting set – funny and colourful way with “The Game of Patterns”.
Might be to difficult, boring and complicated for younger regular kids but those on spectrum just love it. If not, you can always reintroduce it later on. Strange figures, a bit Picasso like drawings. To see what you want to see without any suggestions. No text. Pure paint fiesta.

There are many other titles, different formats and various editions but those above are ‘tested and approved’ by our family so I feel free to strongly recommend them all.
