Book description
50 seasonal projects to make with kids
Highlighting the best of each month of the year, Make and Takes
for Kids offers 50 projects to make with kids, each centered
around an upcoming holiday or season. The ideas are unique and simple
to produce, and each project is thoughtfully constructed and designed
to create an ideal environment and setting for crafting. Each craft
requires little preparation, few supplies, and almost everything can
be readily found at home or at a local craft supply store.
Crafting isn't just playtime; there's a purpose to all the gluing,
cutting, and coloring. Children are learning hand-eye coordination,
fine motor skills, problem solving, math, teamwork, and individual
expression. They are exercising creativity and building their
imaginations. Make and Takes for Kids highlights the learning
objectives and skills that children will attain as they complete each
craft. Parents learn the benefits of spending time to create and craft
with their children, and see the growth and creativity that children
can experience while crafting.
