In just five simple steps, children can make a variety of whimsical crafts such as a hanging mobile, a caterpillar, a maraca, and a sailboat out of objects found in nature. Fourteen projects make clever use of commonly available materials and simple tools, turning nuts, flowers, and clay into lasting crafts and toys. Children five years and older will develop fine motor skills, feed their creativity, and discover new uses for everyday objects. A ranking system for craft difficulty levels is included, from one star to four stars, for stress-free project selection.
