Green Crafts for Children - Softcover

NEW IN PAPERBACK Kids need never be bored again with this practical, easy-to-follow book. Use just a few simple ingredients such as paint, water, and glue, to occupy young minds and beat boredom. The projects here encourage children to turn off the television, get creative, and make use of the materials around them, whether by recycling fabrics or using kitchen items and things found outside. There are recipes for salt dough and methods for easy felting, plus ways to imaginatively use old gift-wrapping paper and worn-out clothes, as well as pine cones, tree bark, shells and other natural bits and bobs. From painted stones and a friendship bracelet to a simple dolls' house and a driftwood boat, children will love the projects in this engaging book.
