Crafting with Kids by Catherine Woram is packed with 35 colourful and enjoyable projects for boys and girls. There are appealing ideas for great gifts, fancy-dress costumes, seasonal decorations and fun things to do on rainy afternoons. All the classic crafting techniques are covered, from potato prints to papier-mache, taking in sewing, collage, modelling, stencilling and much, much more along the way, all imaginatively photographed by Vanessa Davies. *Little hands will enjoy getting to grips with lavender bags, wooden-spoon puppets and snow shakers, as well as crafting felt flowers, balsa-wood cars, Easter bonnets and spooky Halloween masks! *Every project can be completed in five or fewer steps and most of them use materials that you're likely to have around the house.
