Crafts Books for Kids

Are you looking for some more ideas for summer activities for your children? Doing crafts is one of the best ways to keep your kids active, interested and occupied. I've chosen some crafts books for kids that provide directions for a variety of intriguing crafts. Boys 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 even find a gardening book for the family. You'll find more recommended books in my Top Picks list of Knitting Books for Kids and Teens. Summer may seem like an odd time for knitting, but I learned to knit during the summer I was 11. With no schoolwork, I had plenty of time to practice.
