About the book, Craft Classics
from the book's
back cover
Paper, scissors, glue and a child’s imagination can produce the most
amazing results. On a rainy day, forgo the cartoons and video games, and
give your youngster the opportunity to create.
The hours my
children spent fashioning a mock gingerbread house from graham crackers
and novelty candy will be long remembered….longer than any cartoon they
might have instead watched in that same time slot, had there been no
project that day.
Craft projects need not be elaborate or costly. Often you already
have the materials to create. Once you give your child the opportunity,
the door you open can bring a youngster satisfaction, a feeling of
accomplishment and excitement.
Craft Classics is a
collection of craft basics, staples for any crafter’s imagination tool
box. It is a crafting primer, which includes recipes for molding
dough, finger paint, papier-mâché, gingerbread frosting-glue, and much
more.
Most of the
projects are suitable for children as young as pre-school, while many
are projects both older children and adults will enjoy.
This book is ideal
for parent and teacher, babysitter and scout leader, child and adult. It
is for the crafter, young and old.
