RIP This Book is filled with arty, crafty, creative challenges to take you on a journey of creativity, back to those finger painting days in preschool where you did leaf rubbings and butterfly pictures and came home covered in paint glue and glitter. Rediscover your creative roots and fall in love with your arty crafty side all over again (just don't eat the paint this time!)
Get ready to smudge, smear, scratch and sprinkle your creative glitter all over the pages of this book. It's time to rest your intentions and make creativity about the process and not the end result.

Do I really have to RIP the book?
I like ripping because it feels uncontrolled, impulsive and a little bit 'naughty', like it's againast the rules, and the results aren't always predictable- that chimes with my ethos for this book. There are a couple of prompts which involve ripping or cutting the pages of the book in a creative way but it isn't all about ripping......
The title RIP this book is also a play on R.I.P (Rest In Peace) because the book is going to get messy, wrecked or completely destroyed through the creative process and will never look the same again. The final challenge is to create an obituary for the book- a kind of celebration of the book and a look back on it's journey.
Who is this book for?
Children and adults looking for some creative fun. I loved testing the challenges included in RIP this book and so did my eight year old daughter - I'm not sure who had most fun! The simple prompts can be interpreted in your own way so are equally good for children aged 7+, teens and adults. Some of the prompts might seem childish - like finger painting and leaf rubbing.... that's kind of the point of the book!
