“I developed this book for our local Preschool
Mothers Club when my children were preschoolers. The moms in the club were
having a difficult time finding easy craft projects to bring to playgroup. Many
of the craft ideas in books and magazines have projects, which are too
complicated for three to six year olds, and it would end up with the mom,
not the child, doing the craft during playgroup! ALL of the projects in this
book are simple, so that the child will feel a sense of accomplishment.”
-- Karen Gurnik (The author was born and raised in Oceanport,
New Jersey. She currently lives in Slidell, Louisiana with her husband and two
children.)
The Big Red
Book of Children's Crafts is a wonderful resource for moms (and
dads and grandparents) who want to entertain a preschooler on
those rainy days, or any day! You don't need to spend a small fortune at the
craft store for supplies. Just one look around the house (including the
recycling bin!) is all you need to collect materials to make these fun and EASY
crafts.
There
are a lot of craft books on the market, but most have projects too complicated
for the little ones. ALL of the
projects in this book are especially designed for young children, so the child
will feel a sense of accomplishment in creating them.

book is filled with teacher friendly crafts. Materials are inexpensive or just
around the house or yard. There are lots of great patterns included as well as
easy to follow instructions. This book covers all holidays as well as just fun
times with the kids. Great rainy day ideas also as the materials are ones easily
found. Rate this one A+!”
