Nature Crafts for Kids Author:Gwen Diehn & Terry Krautwurst If you'd rather be outdoors than anyplace else, if you like to bring home cones and leaves and rocks but never know what to do with them, then Nature Crafts for kids is for you. — Organized by season, the more than 50 outdoor projects will show you how to learn by doing as well as by looking and reading. You'll dig for clay in a creek bank, make... more » pinch pots just as Native Americans did hundreds of years ago, and build a sawdust kiln that really works.
There's even an ant house and a worm farm, candles sculpted in sand, a "stained glass" project made from autumn leaves and a cement birdbath.
While you are doing each project you'll discover fascinating facts about how nature works. Not only will you make a wind vane, but you'll discover what the wind does for our planet.
Each project is photographed in color and includes clear step by step instructions. Almost all projects have either color photographs or careful drawings that show how each step is done.« less
