Pivotal Book Review
The Best of
Children's Art & Crafts
From the
reviews
This book is an enormous collection of activities for children, all
designed to exercise busy fingers
and stretch fertile minds.
Step by step instructions are
designed to stimulate imagination
and confidence assist with
coordination, concentration and
problem solving and to encourage
experimentation. Good instructions
with easy recipes and hints on
cleaning up, excellent photos of
real kids making these projects.
The
projects themselves really range
from fun, messy and sensory to the
more complex creative projects.
They involve printing, painting,
construction and collage, weaving,
and stitching.
This marvelous book
will provide endless hours of
fun-and none of it will cost a
fortune. In fact, many projects can
be made with recycled household
materials. THE BEST OF CHILDREN'S
ART & CRAFTS is an invaluable
resource for parents, grandparents,
and teachers of young children. You
can find a wide variety of art and
crafts for children of every age:
bubble painting, tennis ball prints,
tie-dyeing, wind socks, boats, papier mache animals, wind chimes
and much more.
Each project has the age group it is
suitable for – a great search tool.
But the really good thing is that
even the more difficult projects
have different levels suitable for
younger ones and the easy projects
can be taken to higher levels if
needed
It is well written, the directions are concise and the pictures are
great. Every educator should own
this book!
