Product Description Your Tiny Artist introduces young viewers to the splendid colors, shapes, and forms of art. This video stimulates a child's early interest in drawing, painting, sculpture, and other art forms. Amazon.com Grab the markers, colored sand, and dress-up clothes: it's time for toddlers and preschoolers to visit a hands-on art museum in Your Tiny Artist. Hosted by a Muppet-like docent, this 30-minute show emphasizes learning through doing: drawing, singing, building, and counting. Most of the activity takes place against bright, hand-painted backdrops. Simple easels or tables offer a place for puppets--and, occasionally, real children--to teach simple lessons about shape, color, or animal recognition. Plenty of upbeat music reinforces the concepts of each enjoyable vignette; fresh lyrics accompany recognizable tunes like "Old McDonald," "Pop Goes the Weasel," and "Camptown Ladies." Going well beyond the usual cut, color, and paste media, this film shows kids how face paint, balloons, pottery, and costumes also can help them express their own inner artist. In a way, this engaging little gem brings the children's museum experience right into the home. --Liane Thomas
