Artterro Canvas Storybook Kit
Arttero sent me a Canvas Story Book Kit to review. I couldn’t quite visualize writing on a canvas cloth so I wanted to see for myself. It turned out to be so much fun!
The directions suggest writing with a pen or marker but I decided just to use the supplies from the kit to cut, paint, glue and design a visual story without words. The book’s pages are sewn together so you can stuff and sew up the bottoms and tops with batting or keep the pages like they are and even cut apart to double the pages.
We made a family art story – each of us planned out our own pages to represent something in our family. I worked on mine for hours! (Which is saying a lot because I’m not crafty.)
This photo shows the border my eight year old was making. The page with the house on it I made with my five year old daughter.
The Arttero kids are eco-friendly, designed by moms and assembled by The Goodwill Industries. The Canvas Story Book Kit sells on their website for $24.95.

Love this, count me in. My kids are 5 and 8 (almost) so going to assume it would be perfect for them!
I would like to see how this is done so I could do it as a craft at my library.
This sounds like it would be so much fun to make. i am sure my daughter would love it.
Fantastic creative idea! I’d love to win it!
what a wonderful creative product!!!
This is unusual and can really bring out the creativity in a child! Great idea!
Wow! This looks like a lot of fun and it would definitely bring out the creative author in my daughter! I would love to win this and have a fun author date with my daughter!!
This looks really neat, can’t wait to try it out!
This looks like so much fun!
I love this! I know that it would be a hit around here! Thanks!
For those tactile kids, this is a great idea. Also, I would think if would last much longer and be studier than paper. What a unique way to write. I’m sure it’s a beautiful final project. My students would love to try this!
What a fun idea. Perhaps given this as a model I could put together my own canvas books to play with. Then I would have a few to mess up.
Sounds like a great idea! Count me in for the book draw. Would love to be able to showcase my 4 boys’ uniqueness someway.
What a great idea. My daugters will love it!
These really look fun! I think you could make some adorable books for toddlers, perhaps as a gift from an older sibling.
i know some girls that would LOVE this.
Very neat! I would love to use these for my library children’s book group. Pretty cool! Count me in.
I would love to win this! My 6 year old daughter is all about crafts! She would definitely enjoy this. Thanks for the chance.
