Ready to learn more about Rembrandt?  Here are a few activities, originally posted on LibertyHillHouse.com, to get you started:

Read:

• We really enjoyed reading Hana in the Time of the Tulips* by Deborah Noyes.  I believe it is out of print now, but check your local library to see if they have a copy available.
• Rembrandt and the Boy who Drew Dogs* by Molly Blaisdel was also fun.
• Rembrandt* by Xavier Niz, while not as entertaining, was very informative.

Online Activities:

• Want to see more of Rembrandt's work?  There is a fantastic listing of Biblical artwork by Rembrandt available at ArtBible.info  Take a look!  How many stories can you recognize?
• See Rembrandt age through his own self portraits in this short video.
• 
  

 Create:

• Color an image of Rembrandt (okay, so the cartoon version of Rembrandt) in his studio at Getting to Know.com.  Their videos are fantastic by the way, I highly suggest you take a look.
