Featuring ways to make useful and personalized items, the projects and techniques are accompanied by stories and anecdotes with a narrative that will help children to relate. Practical craft projects suitable for children aged 6–8 years, classes 1 and 2 of Steiner-Waldorf school to follow on their own or with support. Tips and techniques for teaching are included along with charming rhymes, anecdotes and stories to keep children engaged.
