This is a book to guide young people through making things on their own
(with a little help or guidance from an adult if needed) with few words
and plenty of pictures to follow. As mainstream and Steiner-Waldorf
curriculums are under more pressure to fulfill academic goals, these
projects will provide opportunities to connect with the natural world,
develop dexterity, hand-eye co-ordination and creativity with a series
of tried and tested, age-appropriate projects to gradually build on
skills and techniques. Featuring ways to make useful and personalized
items, the projects and techniques are accompanied by stories and
anecdotes with a narrative that will help children to relate. Practical
craft projects suitable for children aged 6-8 years, classes 1 and 2 of
Steiner-Waldorf school to follow on their own or with support. Tips and
techniques for teaching are included along with charming rhymes,
anecdotes and stories to keep children engaged.
