5 Introduction Welcome to Creative Crafts for Clever Kids! The exciting projects in this 160-page book will provide your children with many happy hours of creative activity. Materials lists everything necessary to complete the project. The main craft ideas are extended with More Ideas, which offers alternatives for decorating and using the completed projects and for creating different ones. Most materials are readily available from hobby shops, hardware and fabric stores, or your local grocery. You may find some of the materials in your home or even in your own backyard. Don t be afraid to substitute if you think something else may work instead of or better than what is suggested. The emphasis here is on being creative. For your convenience, the crafts are divided into sections according to the main type of material used. Paper Productions: Create from paper products such wonders as a rocking horse, newspaper fan, portfolio, building logs, and jewelry. Kitchen Capers: Use everyday food items to craft interesting items such as a potato hedgehog, sugar cube igloo, candy-cup magnet, colored rice mosaic, and apple votive candle. Natural Necessities: Things found in nature yield a surprising variety of treasures such as nuthead magnets, dandelion jewelry, mud building bricks, and pet rocks that double as game pieces. Clay Dough Creations: This section provides recipes for four different kinds of clay dough, followed by a selection of creative clay crafts such as birthday candle holders, potted plant people, beautiful beads, dinosaur teeth, jewelry, and woven baskets. Fabric Finery: Your children will marvel as they use such materials as fabric, ribbon, felt, and yarn to make dolls, flowers, picture frames, hats, and indoor tennis rackets. Hardware Handiwork: Leftover nuts, bolts, washers, cans, and cup hooks turn from nuisances into neat stuff such as jewelry, wind chimes, animals, and sculpture. Trash Treasures: Create environmentally friendly crafts by cleaning and reusing such materials as cans, milk jugs, egg cartons, plastic six-pack rings, and soda bottles.
