Here is an inventive way to get older kids into art, and provide beginning writers with a wealth of creative storywriting prompts. Each page features a piece of splat art ( fingerprints, paint drips, coffee rings) and inspires kids to work them up into a new masterpiece. Can a coffee stain become the ring of a mysterious planet? An ink splat a puddle down a dark alley? Let your child's creativity rip with this simple and open-ended vehicle for artistic discovery. (Klutz, $12.95)
