Fairy Tale Adventure Crafts

* Reviews *

Fairy tales are as fun to make up as they are to read, so crafters will have everything they need in this volume. From a frog prince and ogre to a witch and a wizard, children will learn how to craft characters from clay, cardboard and tissue paper. The instructions for each project are clear, but leave room for creativity. The accompanying pictures add to the instructions and some finer details will be derived from the pictures. Projects that involve drawing, like the ogre, do not include a template, which would help some crafters, but leaves more room for imagination. Each project is tied together with silly cartoons that come together in the end to make up a story. The final scene is quite impressive and not beyond the patient crafter. The most useful crafts will most likely be the witchs house, which could be any house, and the fairy princess. The clay projects do require self-drying clay and plenty of drying time. Two featured websites will direct readers to other fairy tale crafts, which are even simpler than those presented in the book. Libraries needing more craft books on clay sculpting should consider this book for purchase., Children's Literature
