Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6--Make Clothes Fun! offers ten projects using fabric paint, stencils, tie dying, buttons, embroidery, etc. A variety of materials, such as clay, paper, fabric, and papier mache, are utilized to Make Sculptures! Both oversized volumes are illustrated with clear and attractive full-color photographs. Children are encouraged to substitute materials, improvise as they go along, and exercise their creativity. However, the bare-bones instructions may be confusing and frustrating for those unfamiliar with the techniques described. There are some wonderful ideas here, but the books are not suited to rank beginners. Safety tips and proper care of materials and work areas are mentioned. These are fine additions for experienced crafters and adults working with children. --Florence M. Brems, Benjamin Rush Elementary School, Bensalem,

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy instructions for children to make colorful sculptures, May 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Make Sculptures (Art and Activities for Kids) (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book for children aged 6 to 10 who like to do arts and crafts projects. The instructions are easy to follow and the pictures are colorful. The book inspired me to plan several art projects over the summer. A must have for rainy days or when it is just too hot to go outside. Buy it!
