DESCRIPTION<br />
The twenty first century has seen an explosion in all kinds of crafting. So much so<br />
that it sometimes feels like kid's craft has fallen by the wayside. Following on from the<br />
success of <strong>Making</strong> <strong>Stuff</strong>: An Alternative Craft Book, <strong>Making</strong> <strong>Stuff</strong> for <strong>Kids</strong> is a vibrant<br />
and exciting new craft book that features a host of new ideas for cool things to make<br />
for and with kids.<br />
<strong>Making</strong> <strong>Stuff</strong> <strong>For</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> brings children back into the craft equation. The book features<br />
well-loved favourites, like piñatas, potato printing and kaleidoscopes as well as<br />
breaking into new territory with wacky and wonderful gifts, hair accessories, crossstitch<br />
ideas, clothes and much, much more.<br />
Over 70 entertaining, enjoyable and funky ideas are laid out clearly with accessible,<br />
step-by-step instructions, and illustrated using hand-drawing and photography. Each<br />
idea has a simplicity grading, so that children of all ages can safely enjoy making the<br />
ideas, either on their own or with an adult. Parents are not left out either, with a series<br />
of more complex knitting and sewing patterns to make for and with their young ones.<br />
Special pullout sections focus on Halloween costumes, party crafts, educational ideas<br />
and teaching kids to knit and sew. The book will teach you how to make:<br />

To name just a few…<br />
Personal anecdotes are interweaved with the ideas, giving parents ideas and inspiration<br />

<strong>Kids</strong> is perfect for children under ten and parents and grandparents who wish they<br />
