Horton - Fessler Delanie - Maker Camp Heritage Crafts And Skill - Building Projects For Kids - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Classic and innovative hands - on projects for kids ages 3 and up designed to teach both heritage skills and how to think creatively. Handcraft is part of human nature: we build we create we innovate. The 20+ projects in this book from an experienced art educator weave a story of human innovation and creativity from the very beginnings of building shelters in the woods to tinkering with recycled materials. Heritage skills teach children how to be independent and capable makers; fiber and wood projects offer rewarding crafts that also teach planning preparation and safe risk taking; and tinkering activities connect the low - tech process of making and doing with innovation. From soap carving and knot tying to building toy cars and junk robots this book brings the fun of making things with your hands to young kids and links skills of the past with the present. The book also explores how to set up a maker space and teaches foundational workshop practices that can easily be applied to the home studio. Each project offers extensions for different ages and abilities and provides guiding questions to enrich the experience for both the maker (teacher/parent) and the apprentice (child) to encourage and celebrate creative practical play.
