From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-This collection of approximately 100 paper crafts is designed to be used in a classroom at a self-directed art station. Each spread lists the materials needed in a brief, easy-to-read, "Get it!" list; "Make it!" gives easy-to-follow illustrated steps for completing the project. The emphasis is on emergent readers being able to visualize how to make the craft with little or no adult help. The projects vary widely from making puppets to painted, papier-mƒch‚ bowls to door signs to jewelry to musical instruments, and more. This book will give teachers ideas for enlivening their art and music curriculum. Children, however, may be disappointed that the pictures are all in black and white.

Perfect for little ones,

This review is from: Easy Art Fun!: Do-It-Yourself Crafts for Beginning Readers (Little Hands Book) (Paperback)
Tired of projects supposedly for kids, but really require adult help all the way? Then this book is for your family. Young kids can truly do these projects on their own. The text is simple. The adoreable illustrations are step-by-step. Best of all, there's lots of opportunity for them to add their own creativity. My kids were so proud of their results!
