A Captivating Circus Little Ones Art Box
This box looks at artists who have been inspired by the circus, from Alexander Calder and his wire circus acts, to Marc Chagall and his dreamy paintings of the Big Top… Put together, these art projects will create your very own circus tent, with strong men, acrobats, horses and lions jumping through rings of fire!

What is the Captivating Circus box?
We all love a good circus… whatever our age. The thrill of the Big Top – what we call the mobile tent where circuses perform around the country – stays with us for life. Many great modern artists, from Renoir and Degas to Picasso and Matisse, have felt moved to depict the circus in their work. It was an incredible visual spectacle. All those tumblers, trapeze artists and clowns in bright costumes offered painters a rich, ready-made subject full of drama, colour and whirling motion.
What's inside the box?
• A booklet introducing the theme, with information about artists, art styles and techniques.
• Clear instructions on six projects tailored for ages 3-6, and LoLA book recommendations for further reading.
