The Artist Box: Claude Monet

Whether you’re enchanted with his kitchen and garden in Giverny, intrigued by his personal dramas, or idolize him as the creator of impressionist art, there’s no doubting that Claude Monet is one of history’s most influential artists.

When you open the artist box, you can piece together Monet’s garden in a puzzle; uncover fascinating details about his life in a foldout timeline; have hours of fun with twenty-four projects; and find an iron-on patch. Each item in the box is inspired by this great artist and beautifully illustrated by Iratxe López de Munáin. Using the activity cards, you’ll create art with Monet’s work as your inspiration, get lost in origami water lilies, and solve your very own Monet murder mystery. In the puzzle, spy the pioneers of the impressionist movement, Monet’s studio boat, his wife Camille, and details from five of his landmark paintings. Immerse yourself in the world of Monet and, like the artist, discover the beauty all around you!
