Kids' Crafts: Paper Fantastic : 50 Creative Projects to Fold, Cut, Glue, Paint & Weave
Safe, easy, fast, and fun: paper crafts are the perfect creative activity for children. And these 48 unique projects-engagingly displayed on colorful pages-prove there's more to paper art than just cutting out hearts. A special section starts kids off by introducing them to different papers and tools, while six technique-based chapters present imaginative possibilities for transforming everything from corrugated cardboard to vellum. Using collage, budding artists can create a Dream Travel Box. Young fashionistas will enjoy designing their own paper clothesline. Or they might fold a Book Necklace, make an origami Peace Crane, construct big beautiful Butterfly Wings for a costume party, even create a cool paper-mâché pig. Best of all, kids will learn how to turn their own crafty ideas into reality.
