The Renaissance Art Game - MuseumTour Catalog - Educational Toys for children

More from the MuseumTour expert:
To be a well-educated person, you must know the arts and the sciences. Comprehensive art education is thought to go beyond creativity and imagination, and actually benefit children in many areas of development and learning, including cognitive development, problem solving, fine-motor development, language, social development, behavioral development, and even literacy. This game provides a wonderful introduction to art history, the masters, and their masterpieces while building strategic and memorization skills.

Do you have any Raphaels? Go fish!

Become a knowledgeable art collector while playing the card games of your youth. Proclaimed the "most effective educational art games on the market," Renaissance Art Game (30 cards) combines art appreciation, strategic thinking, memory stimulation and the childhood games of "Go Fish" and "Concentration" into one package.

Playing cards bring 30 great works of art to life. Read fascinating facts about Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Fra Angelico and Raphael in the accompanying 76-page full color art book.

Each playing card has a two-page spread in the companion book where you'll learn the story behind the art and find the answers to such questions as:

Who punched "the divine Michelangelo" in the nose?

Why did Leonardo da Vinci write backwards?

Who painted his most annoying critic as the Devil on the wall of the pope's chapel?

Which paints were made from beetles, burnt bones and precious jewels?

These games have allowed my dd to really know the individual artists' styles and specific works. They have sparked an interest in further enjoyment of these artists as well as others. Her favorite place is the art museum. Pretty cool for a 10yo!

Only the 5 artists are in the game - I was hoping for a wider variety of artists. I was disappointed.
