Crafty Kids

This great book contains 28 quick, fun things for 2-5s to make grouped into three categories: Farm Animals, Sea Creatures and Trucks/Trains/Planes. All the projects use things easily found around the house, eg. wool, stickers, paper plates, tissue paper, foil etc. Grown-ups read out the simple instructions and do any cutting or preparation. Toddlers look at the finished article pictured in the book and then create their own masterpieces, experiencing a real sense of achievement in the process. The activities help develop hand/eye co-ordination and motor skills. Extension activities are included so older children can join in the fun. Because of the collaborative nature of the projects, the book encourages parents to spend quality time with their children.
