“The contents of this book provide a clear and detailed account of how to bring appropriate craft activities to children aged six to eight years old, just at the stage where they feel how the skills that their fingers have are waking up and ready for sustained and productive work. These craft skills and projects will stretch burgeoning capacities and fuel enthusiasm for future crafting adventures.” —Jill Tina Taplin
This is a recipe book to guide young people through making things on their
own (with a little help from an adult when needed), with lots of pictures to
follow and helpful rhymes to help them remember.
From disappearing rabbits (“slip knots” to you) and knitted donkeys, this
book has everything needed to encourage small hands learn to sew, knit, and
weave and will improve their cognitive development and manual dexterity
for life. The author’s charming anecdotes, tips, and clear illustrations are
invaluable for guiding children to learn with their hands.
School curriculums are under increasing pressure to fulfill preordained
academic goals, while these projects provide opportunities to develop
dexterity, eye–hand coordination, and creativity with a series of tried and
tested, age-appropriate projects to build skills. Techniques include spinning,
knitting, sewing, and weaving. The projects and techniques are
accompanied by stories and anecdotes that children will be unable to resist.
Projects include finger knitting, knitted animals, sewing a flute case, and
keeping a handwork diary. Although some of these projects might require
one-on-one attention, projects are also included for young people to begin
while also waiting for help. Regular teaching tips guide adults in the best
ways to demonstrate skills and make them engaging.
