A particularly popular series of children’s art books is the Katie series, written and illustrated by James Mayhew. These books explore artistic movements with Katie and offer an excellent way to introduce children to the world’s most iconic art. Options within our range at the National Gallery Shop include Katie meets the Impressionists, Katie and the British Artists, Katie and the Sunflowers and Katie and the Bathers. The range of choices we have available at the National Gallery Shop makes for creative presents for kids of many different ages.

Many of us still hold a soft spot for the things we enjoyed as children when we enter adulthood. This means helping to support and encourage the love that a child may have for art and painting is a great thing to do. When the lovely people at Snapfish challenged me to create End-of-School Year Keepsakes, I knew exactly what I was going to do. For a couple of years, I’ve been thinking of taking photos of their artwork and compiling them all in an album each so they could look at their drawings whenever they wanted.

It would also suit an older audience, including teenagers and even adults who want to understand modern art a little better themselvesThis is the children’s edition of Phaidon’s best-selling ‘The Art Book’, offering a guide to 30 great artists and their most famous works. It’s been designed for both adult and child to enjoy and talk about together. It’s accessible and clear, without being condescending. Each spread is illustrated by one or more works by the artist and accompanied by a fun and involving text. It introduces the reader to the artist, and invites children to look more closely at each of artworks through open questions. You’ll soon have an art historian on your hands! I also really like to have a tidy house and organizational systems so that every available surface isn’t covered in artwork!

Kids Art Books The Plum Print Process For a lot of kids, there’s nothing better than sitting down with some paint, crayons, chalk, or markers to create their latest masterpiece.

Best for: 6-10s who’ll enjoy travelling through the homes of history, and aspiring fashion designersThis is one of my favourite art books for children. The illustrator Quentin Blake writes about 26 of his favourite – and very different – paintings. It’s a brilliant art book, which introduces kids to the stories behind each artwork. The artist’s additional characters and comments also urge children to use their imagination and look for their own adventures and stories in the pictures. It makes for a lovely gift, which you know will be loved and continually passed down the family. A classic.

As you can imagine, it took forever to sort through all their drawings and decide which ones were going to make it to the books, but it was a really enjoyable process. We did it together and had lots of fun looking at their early mark-making and primitive drawings, comparing them with each other at similar ages, noticing patterns and recognising traits of personality through their artwork. The only question now is, where exactly can you find children’s books about art that are age-appropriate and fun for your little one?
