I don't know if it's any better than an MLM, but lots of Usborne magic painting books are available from Amazon.

I might end up buying some from thriftbooks or Amazon, but what I d love to know is IF you ve ever played with the Usborne painting books, you have a recommendation for a non Usborne version.

Magic Painting Book
“This book is similar to the paint with water books we had as children, but is SO MUCH BETTER! The dynamic black and white illustrations are already stunning without any color, but the magic begins when you dip your brush into water and start coloring. The “black” lines are actually hidden pockets of color that disperse throughout the page differently depending on how you move your brush pen and blend colors. My 4 year old loves this, and so do I! I have to admit that I wanted to do a full page all by myself! A great gift, and is sure to bring a few hours of entertainment to any child.”
Other Usborne books in the Series include:
- Dinosaurs Magic Painting Book
- Fairy Gardens Magic Painting Book
- Jungle Magic Painting Book
- Under the Sea Magic Painting Book
- Fingerprint Activities
- 100 Paper Dragons to Fold & Fly
- Mosaic Sticker Book
Magic Painting Consultant Review:
This is a book that you might order for your child, and then end up loving for yourself! It’s fascinating to watch the colors appear as you paint with just water. I was mesmerized the first time I watched my son paint with the book and asked – no begged – to give it a try! It’s a really satisfying introduction to water colors, too, for children that you don’t quite trust with paints! Since all the Magic Painting books use is water there is no worry about a mess.

I loved these when I was a kid! Try searching for "paint with water" instead of "water painting" and you should get plenty of results. These look great and I might buy some for myself! These are simpler images, and a little different style, but I've never been disappointed in any Melissa&Doug product. And here's a reusable option.

It is often associated with protection and purification. Rosemary can be used to cleanse a space of negative energy and ward off evil spirits. It is also believed to enhance memory and mental clarity, making it useful for studying and learning. Mugwort is a herb commonly used in divination and dreamwork. It is believed to heighten psychic abilities and aid in lucid dreaming. Mugwort can be burned as an incense or placed under the pillow to enhance dreams and connect with the spirit realm.

In addition to these herbs, there are countless others with their own magical properties. From chamomile for peace and tranquility to cinnamon for love and passion, herbs have been used for centuries to manifest desired outcomes. It is important to remember that the magical properties of herbs are not guaranteed, and individual results may vary. When working with herbs magically, it is essential to respect their energy and intention. Properly researching and understanding the properties of each herb is crucial to ensure safe and effective magical practices. The use of herbs in spellwork and rituals can enhance and amplify intentions, making them a valuable tool for any practitioner of magic..
Reviews for "The Sacred Rituals of Herbal Magic: Exploring the Properties of Ceremony"
1. Jane - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magical Properties of Herbs". I was expecting a comprehensive guide to the magical properties of various herbs, but instead, the book provided vague and generic information. The descriptions were so superficial that it felt like I was reading a list of random facts rather than a deep exploration of each herb's magical properties. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for in-depth knowledge about herb magic.
2. Mike - 2/5 stars - While "Magical Properties of Herbs" had some interesting information, I found it to be quite repetitive. Many of the herbs discussed had very similar magical properties, making it feel like the author was simply rehashing the same information over and over again. Additionally, I was hoping for more practical tips and instruction on how to use the herbs in rituals or spells, but the book fell short in that aspect. Overall, I don't think it offered much value beyond what you can find with a quick internet search.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was excited to read "Magical Properties of Herbs" as I've always been interested in herbal magic. Unfortunately, the book did not live up to my expectations. I found the writing style to be dry and uninspiring, making it difficult to stay engaged with the content. Additionally, the book lacked a clear structure and organization, so it was hard to navigate and find information on specific herbs. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and would not recommend this book to anyone looking for an engaging and informative read on the subject.
