Foam Crafts for Kids: Over 100 Colorful Craft Foam Projects to Make with Your Kids (Design Originals) Projects for Boys & Girls: Puppets, Pencil Toppers, Masks, Purses, Belt Pockets, Magnets, & More - Softcover

Let the Creativity Begin!

As a mother and grandmother, I've always enjoyed sharing my love of crafting with my family. When your family steps away from the electronic devices and takes the time to create with one another, you'll be surprised at how many laughs and meaningful memories you'll be making together.

In addition to exploring their creativity, my children and grandchildren have gained so much practical knowledge through crafting. When children create, they learn that there is value in completing a project from start to finish because the end result is well worth it. There is nothing greater than watching a child's eyes shine with pride as they gaze upon their newly finished creation.

Foam Crafts for Kids is filled with more than 100 fantastic projects for young children. Both boys and girls will love the incredible range of fun ideas in this book. Foam is such a versatile material that's super easy to work with. Inside you'll find projects perfect for rainy days, parties, camp activities, and after-school projects.
