Make It Yourself: Crafts for Children Book

A book of simple crafts for children six and older.

We believe that modern life requires of us too little creativity; that living in a world where everything is done and made for you has disadvantages as well as advantages. Give your children the deep satisfactions which come from making things with our hands.

This book is a compilation of simple craft projects drawn from old books and magazines. None of them require special equipment (just yarn, cardboard, etc.), and are within the capabilities of most children.

Projects include: a clown riding on the back of a giraffe, a tiny merry-go-round, a paper May basket, a little house with cardboard inhabitants, handmade greeting cards and many more.
