1984 March


There are two crafts for each of the six thematic yearly occasions of Thanksgiving, Hallowe'en, Christmas, Easter, and Mother's and Father's Day. The emphasis is on simple yet imaginative projects done with inexpensive materials easily available at home. Step-by-step instructions are so well illustrated with coloured ink sketches that young children would be successful in their gift-making attempts.

In addition, one chapter has never-fail, easy recipes for such products as salt ceramics, home-made paints, make-up, etc., all required in the home that has grade school children.

A good resource book for parents (or teachers) of children who ask "What can I do today?" Recommended for ages 6 and up.
