Crafts for Kids

To give a preschooler plenty of crafting fun, just grab some felt, sequins, buttons, bows, beads, paper, and this fabulous collection of international projects. With more than 50 colorful things to create, including holiday cards, gifts, and decorations, there's something to appeal to every child. For Christmas, celebrate with tree bag ornaments or a gingerbread house. Dress up a Thanksgiving table with a cornucopia. Display Easter eggs in a papier-m ch bowl. A decorated mug makes a perfect Mother's or Father's Day gift, and a bat and spider chain adds a spooky touch to Halloween. Other projects are inspired by festivities from around the world.
