From the Publisher:
Kids love crafting--give them paper, paints, and glue and they'll entertain themselves for hours, allowing their imaginations to run wild and producing decorative creating that will amaze you. Crafting is a great way to encourage your kids to express themselves, and for children, the experience of creating is every bit as important as the end result.

Crafting with Kids contains 35 fun, colorful, and imaginative craft projects for boys and girls aged from three to ten. There are ideas for gifts, dress-up costumes, and seasonal decorations, as well as fun things to do on rainy afternoons!

All the classic crafting techniques are covered, from potato prints to papier-mâché, taking in sewing, collage, modeling, stenciling, and many more along the way. Little hands will enjoy getting to grips with lavender bags, wooden-spoon puppets, and snowglobes, as well as crafting felt flowers, balsa-wood cars, Christmas decorations, Easter bonnets, and spooky Halloween masks!

Every project can be completed in four simple steps, and most of them use easy-to-find materials that you're likely to have around the house. Just follow the clear step-by-step instructions and you can't go wrong!
