From Booklist
Gr. 3-5, younger with adult assistance. This compendium draws on Ross and Enright's titles
Crafts to Make in the Fall (1998)
, Crafts to Make in the Winter (1999),
Crafts to Make in the Spring (1998), and
Crafts to Make in the Summer (1999), reproducing 20 of the 29 double-page spreads from each of the previous volumes. Each spread explains and fully illustrates one seasonal project with materials, step-by-step directions, and decorative borders.
As in the original books, these craft ideas look easy and fun for children to make. Unlike the earlier books, this volume has a spiral binding inside paper-covered boards. Though it may not hold up as long as a library binding, this alternative ensures that the pages will lie flat for crafters, protects the paper from tearing, and offers a sturdy spine for Dewey decimal labels. An attractive and economical way to bolster craft collections.

Book Description
Kathy Ross offers a collection of 80 simple yet satisfying craft projects designed to help youngsters creatively celebrate the joys of each new season. Clear step-by-step illustrated instructions call for only scissors, and paste, and common household items.
The book's sturdy wipe-clean cover conceals a spiral binding that lets the pages stay open and lie flat so youngsters won't lose their place while working on a project.
Among the guaranteed-to-success crafts are practical items (try the Mouse Sunglass Case for summertime); decorative items (watch the Icy Sun Catcher sparkle in your wintertime wardrobe); and holiday items (for fall, try the Cornucopia Place Cards on your Thanksgiving table).
