Using inexpensive supplies, your children can create a variety of beautifully decorated items that will inspire them to explore their own creativity and expand their interest in crafting. Teach your children how to make amazing and innovative crafts! Craft supplies and materials do not have to cost an arm and a leg. Author Suzanne McNeill, an imaginative voice for hands-on creativity, proves that crafts can be affordable and fun in Strings 'n Things, a detailed book that maps out 51 innovative projects. Each project is perfect for kids that are past the point of needing constant supervision. The projects are not so complicated, though, that the average child cannot figure out how to complete them. Best of all, each project challenges a child to use their own creativity and innovation to master the craft. This book is a sure way to ignite a passion for crafting that will last a lifetime in a young person by: *Challenging the crafter to use inexpensive items to finish or augment a craft *Helping the crafter figure out household items that can be used in a craft *Making the crafter use their imagination to enhance projects *Presenting inexpensive crafting items in the most innovative way possible. If you are looking for a fun, creative, and inexpensive way to engage, entertain, and teach your kids, Strings 'n Things is a great place to start.
