Inspire creativity and a lifelong love of crafting with this recipe-style handbook. Making Waldorf Crafts by Nina Taylor is a beautiful book to guide young people through all kinds of projects to make on their own (with some help from an adult when needed), with a variety of helpful pictures to follow and simple rhymes to help them remember stitches and techniques. This book has everything needed to encourage little ones to learn how to sew, knit and weave using sweet and helpful terms like disappearing rabbits (a.k.a. “slip knots") and knitted donkeys. Each craft will improve children's cognitive development and manual dexterity for life. Filled with charming anecdotes, tips, and clear illustrations from the author, this book is an invaluable source for guiding children to learn with their hands. Techniques include spinning, knitting, sewing, and weaving and some of the projects include finger knitting, knitted animals, sewing a flute case, and keeping a handwork diary. Certain projects require one-on-one attention, but most are designed for kids to get started while waiting for help. Teaching tips for adults are included to demonstrate the best ways to make teaching these skills engaging.
