Story Time Crafts for Kids. v. 2 - Holly Alder

Story Time Crafts for Kids books will be a boon for the busy soccer mom, scout leader, care provider or teacher who wants to provide kids with activities that are productive and structured, but require little prep time and no training. Each volume is designed for adults to use as a tool to engage kids in craft activities. With 26 projects packed into each volume, the set provides tons of creative fun for each week of the year! Each project is inspired by a classic work of children's literature, enabling teachers and parents to encourage reading in addition to providing entertainment. Each activity includes information and a synopsis of the book that inspired it. The age range of books sampled varies from kindergarten through 5th grade. The projects use new materials such as polymer clay and fun foam, as well as more familiar materials such as felt, wire and fabric. Easy-to-use, safe tools are employed, making the book kid-friendly. The projects are also designed to minimize any mess or extra clean-up time after the project is finished.
