Making Stuff for Kids
Following on from the success of Making Stuff: An Alternative Craft Book, Making Stuff for Kids is a vibrant and exciting new craft book that features a whole slew of new ideas for cool things to make for and with kids. Published in collaboration with Guardian Books.
Well-loved favourites, like piñatas, potato printing and kaleidoscopes are explained and illustrated, as well as felted puppets, wacky worms and nautical mobiles. Alongside these is a chapter of ideas that adults can make for their little ones — this includes bibs, booties, hats, toy boxes and a whole selection of Halloween costumes.
The craft revolution has officially begun. In the aftermath of the (highly contagious) knitting epidemic, people all over the world are turning back to those long-lost handicrafts of sewing, felting and crochet. So
much so that sometimes it feels that crafting for children has been left behind as the adults get busy with the gaffer tape.
Perfect for children under ten and for young mums and dads, Making Stuff for Kids is a straight up shot of pure unadulterated fun for all.
