Crafts Books for Kids

Wednesday July 11, 2007
Cover Art Kids Crafts Book - Knotting It's been an extremely rainy summer here in Kansas. One of the best ways to keep your kids active and occupied when the weather keeps them indoors is with crafts. I have selected some crafts books for kids that provide directions for a variety of intriguing crafts. Boy and girls who love sports will particularly like Knotting because it contains directions for a basketball net and a sports bag. 'Tween and teen girls will have fun using Injeanuity to update and/or make "cool stuff" with their old denim jeans. Other crafts covered in Crafts Books for Kids include paper crafts, clay and bead crafts, holiday crafts, nature crafts, and needlecrafts, to name a few. You'll find more recommended books in my Top Picks list of Knitting Books for Kids and Teens. Are there other crafts books for kids you'd recommend?

When my daughter was younger we bought a book on knots and we both still use that knowledge today. This particular book on knotting that you recommend seems really good because they have practice things to make so you can remember them.
