Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Crafts from Your Favorite Children's Songs by Kathy Ross, illus. by Vicky Enright, offers ideas on how to make a dozen familiar songs even more interactive. With simple instructions and a few household items, kids can construct "Old MacDonald's Barn" as they sing "E-I-E-I-O" or dangle the eensy-weensy "Washed-Out Spider" from a water spout (made from a paper towel tube).

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-Ross once again presents simple, easy-to-follow instructions for creative craft activities. Here she focuses on 20 familiar songs, with projects such as a "Bear Over the Mountain" stick puppet, "Old MacDonald's Barn" made from an envelope, "Tippy Teapot" made from a paper plate, and a "Washed-Out Spider" made from a cardboard tube and yarn. Clearly designed to help expand the imaginations of young crafters, this book does not contain any black-line masters to drop on a copy machine and duplicate. The colorful, charming illustrations are both helpful and full of whimsy. Although the lyrics are not included, the author does provide a listing of her favorite songbooks. This title should enjoy the same popular appeal as the author's Crafts from Your Favorite Fairy Tales (Millbrook, 1997).-Dona J. Helmer, College Gate School Library, Anchorage, AK

This review is from: Crafts From Your Favorite Children's Songs (Paperback)

Of all the craft books we own, this series is definitely our favorite! The projects are fun and the kids just love the pictures. When we're not actually doing the crafts, our daughter spends hours looking for the animals in the beautiful illustrations. We recommend this book (and Crafts for Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and All Seasons!) to anyone that wants to remember children songs from your youth and teach them to your kids!
