Create a forest of interesting shapes with 6 pre-cut stencils of common leaf forms: oak, maple, aspen, holly, and 2 others. Sturdy, reusable stencils are perfect for a variety of classroom projects or for decorating walls, furniture, other flat surfaces.
This colorful and reusable stencil collection introduces youngsters (as well as craftworkers looking for new ideas) to six intriguing Southwest Indian tribal designs. Adapted from handmade craft items such as fabrics, pottery, and basketware, the pre-cut patterns strikingly depict authentic Pueblo lizard and bird motifs, anthropomorphic designs of the Navajo and Hopi tribes, and more.
Stimulate a youngster's creativity and imagination with these sturdy, brightly-colored stencils. Children learn to identify basic shapes and their variations as they trace and color 6 figures: oval, diamond, hexagon, interlocking circles, 8-pointed star, and Swiss cross.
An exciting moment for any crafter is when they are able to take the love for crafts and turn it into real money. Selling your crafts enables you to make money doing what you love, along with the convenience of setting your own hours and working from home.
This book is a companion to my first book, Fun Activities for Playful Learning – The First 3 Years. It is structured in a similar fashion but intended for the little older pre-school child. The aim is to stimulate youngsters through age-appropriate fun activities. I chose to use the feminine form when referring to children for the sake of uniformity throughout the book (and my son is outnumbered in this matter). Some of the information from my first book is included in this book as I do not want new readers to miss out on it. Moms, roll up your sleeves and join in the fun! Since children feel secure when following a routine, it is wise to establish some sort of structure for your daily activities. The daily program supplied merely serves as an example - tailor it to your specific needs or circumstances. A good guideline for a stay-at-home mom is to start out using the schedule for 2 or 3 days a week, and work it up to 5 days a week.
