These are my two books I have made, so far ...
A magic wand, a luxurious sugar egg or a ghost costume – here are lots of suggestions for fun and nice crafts suitable also for younger children. Because even young children find
joy in crafting and creating, and the craft session is a fun way to be together. Making their own toys – carrying a small but important project through from idea to finished product
– can help children build stronger self-esteem.
The book contains a number of clever craft ideas, and there are many descriptions in both photos and text. The crafts are divided according to which material is used: paper, cloth, wood and plaster and paper pulp, for example, and there are simple recipes of how to make play dough and papier-mâché. For those who are traveling, or want to have time for an improvised moment of crafting after daycare, there are tips on travel crafts and “after daycare” crafts.
The basic materials are simple and easy to get. Everything can be made at home at the kitchen table without much cost. Yes, this is a very inspirational book with suggestions
for nice and useful things to make – empty containers and simple materials turn into fantastically inspiring creations.
But most important, of course, is having fun together!
