Children never tire of hearing their favorite nursery rhymes, even though they have learned them by heart. This collection of crafts is a way to enhance the comforting familiarity of the old verses. Youngsters can make a little piggy that actually squeals (all the way home!), a Boy Blue that really blows a horn, or even a dish that runs away with a spoon. Some of the crafts are toys, while others such as the Old Woman’s Shoe Magnet or the Crying Kitten Soap Dispenser have practical use. These easy-to-make crafts feature step-by-step illustrated instructions and require only common household materials or simple craft items.

Million copy craft book author Kathy Ross presents a charming craft book just right for girls. Each project in this fun and fabulous new series features illustrated step-by-step instructions and materials that are easy to find around the house. All-Girl Crafts is great for all-girl get-togethers including Girl Scout meetings, slumber parties, after school gatherings, and more. No boys allowed!
