Green Crafts For Children

Give your children their first taste of crafting with Green Crafts for Children, a wonderful introduction to a world of endless creative possibilities. Children love making their own toys, gifts and decorations. This book encourages them to unleash their creative talent, and if they can use recycled or repurposed bits, so much the better for them and the planet! None of Emma Hardy's projects in this book rely on special materials. Instead, they all use things likely to be in the cupboard, found around the house or garden, or collected on a walk in the park or along the beach. There are recipes for salt dough and easy felting methods, plus clever ways to use old gift wrap and worn-out clothes, as well as pine cones, bark, shells and other natural finds. Gifts for relatives and friends are here, along with toys that can be made and played with again and again. From painted pebbles and friendship bracelets to a simple dolls' house and a driftwood boat, children will love the projects in this engaging book. In fact, they'll never be bored again.
