Get kids involved in a skill; they'll always remember it !

Children love to make things, and the skills they gain from creating are not only physical, but intellectual and emotional as well. In my first grade classroom, I have used this book extensively. The projects are appropriately challenging, which is an essential criteria for happiness as has been documented in the nonfictional book, Flow, and other psychology books. Each craft appeals to children. Crafters can make postcards, wrapping paper, frames, spinners for games, calendars, Christmas decorations, personal stationery, wall art, imitated stained class, wall paper borders, monster feet, animals, scenes for stories, a variety of fun masks, crowns, puppets, puzzles, books, albums, gifts for special occaisions, and more. The techniques needed are carefully explained and illustrated in a step-by-step process. Beautifully photographed pages accomodate the crafter so that the finished projects are visualized throughout the volume. This is a great book to be used at home, school, church, scouts, and anywhere else where creativity is fostered Crafting and artistic skills contribute to the feeling of contentment in all people. Confidence is enhanced by the process of doing and finishing projects. Instead of watching television, get out a craft book like this one and make things happen !
