Description
With the flavor of Montessori, Waldorf, Charlotte Mason and unschooling, parents will love the nature-inspired craft ideas in this book. It feels like most of these ideas were inspired by nature walks and collecting treasures with lots of sticks, acorn tops and leaves being used. Each project includes a lovely story, followed by the instructions and a few photos. I found some of the instructional photos to be rather dark, but you can tell what to do well enough. There are some materials you may want to purchase such as wool roving and a felting needle (which we sell), watercolor postcards (which we sell) and air-dry clay (yep, we sell that too). Crafty and not-so-crafty parents/teachers can be successful while utilizing these simple and open-ended projects. All child-created masterpieces are works of art in the eye of the beholder. Spice up your learning routine and enjoy some new ideas! ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Wild and Free HandCrafts
Wild + Free Handcrafts is a beautiful, four-color resource book for parents, educators, and caregivers to enjoy doing hands-on activities with kids. A handcraft engages one's hands, requires a level of learned skill, encourages children to do their best work, and produces an end product that is useful. It has been used in homeschool settings for decades as one way to encourage them to work with their hands and discover a skillful craft they love to practice. It also is a great way for traditionally educated kids who are home for the summer, or in afterschool programs, or with their families on the weekends, to do fun activities that will stimulate their imaginations and creativity.
This book will feature crafts such as: felted acorns, paper beads, nature wreaths, coca mint lip balm, woven willow hearts, finger knit bracelets, eco-dyed kitchen towels, fairy tale treehouse, flower crowns, and bug hotel.
With the same lush photography as The Call of the Wild + Free, this book includes step-by-step pictures that show parents how to do the craft, and essays on the usefulness and purpose of handcrafts as a tool to spark children's curiosity and wonder.
