DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe simple and beautiful art of woodcarving is adapted for children of all ages in this introduction to coaxing shapes and figures from solid blocks of wood. Requiring only a few tools and some inspiration, the projects in this collection are perfectly suited to building the skills it takes to work with wood. Safety and adult supervision are emphasized, but children will be able to complete the age-appropriate designs all by themselves. The graded projects range from carving a name stamp--for the youngest woodworkers--to carving a face--for teenaged craftspeople. The book also touches on computer-aided pattern-making, teaching children who face learning challenges, and methods for instructing kids of each age group--from elementary through high school. With its quick results and cumulative skill-building, learning to carve fosters hand-eye coordination and confidence as young carvers turn out unique handicrafts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book contains all the information you need to work successfully with young children, including supportive advice culled from years of experience. The most important thing I have to impart is respect. Respect for children, respect for tools, and respect for a hands-on experience that will bring pleasure, self confidence, and real competence to anyone who gets involved. Like juggling and other hand-eye coordination skills, learning to use tools, to measure carefully, to cut accurately, to smooth thoroughly, and to bring a woodworking project to completion can have implications for a child's well-being, concentration, self confidence, work ethic and patience that will affect all other areas of life, including classroom learning. Not to mention the sheer joy involved in working together- parent and child.
