A wonderful way to engage children with art. A brilliant combination of education and great storytelling.
Can there be a better way of bringing the world of art and the classic masterpieces alive for children than the charming Katie series? A simply brilliant way of encouraging children to use their imaginations and to gain the confidence to explore art themselves.
