Paper Plate Crafts: Creative Art Fun For 3- To 7-Year Olds (Williamson Little Hands Book) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Laura Check, drawing from her 10 years of experience as a preschool teacher, brings this kid-tested art form to a whole new level of ingenuity! Quick, easy, and inexpensive as always, these crafts are so innovative and exciting that kids of all ages will be clamouring to join in the fun. Kids create incredible works of art using foil, feathers, seeds, sequins, buttons, coloured paper, tempera paint, markers, paper streamers - and, of course, paper plates! Clear illustrations with concise directions make the ‘doing’ accessible to even the smallest hands. Kids imagine coloured creatures as individual as they are: a hard-shelled ‘button’ tortoise; a glittering rainbow fish; an octopus with moving tentacles; a sparkling, wall-long caterpillar; and wild-looking dinos of their own design. Hats, hats, and more hats! Kids try out different careers in ‘Hats for a Day’, where kids make paper plate hats for varied jobs. Plus wonderfully silly and funky hats, too. Kids join the adventure of here-to-here with a paper plate compass, an out-of-this-world flying saucer, a movable vehicle, and a spinning helicopter. Plus, stories to read when the projects are complete tie reading and doing together in the minds of emergent readers. All of this in a paper plate craft book? Why, yes! It’s Williamson way.

I have a four year old son and he was so excited to do the crafts in this book. We started the day we got it and it has been wonderful. All of the projects use simple household items and are simple yet fun. No Martha Stewarts required! I am buying 3 more for friends and to donate to the preschool we attend. ENJOY!!
This book is perfect for your little ones. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loved the crafts we have already done out of the book. I also work with children as my job and also at my church. I highly recommend this book to all you parents, grandparents, Aunt & Uncles, All care givers, and even the expecting parents. A+ Book.
This had craft ideas for teachers and children of all ages , some easy, some more difficult. I had all the pieces they needed cut for the really young ones, and the more adapt with a scissors cut and colored their masks for themselves. The older children used the stapler and I helped. The class was in our local science museum and we talked about animals and springtime. I got a book to read from our library because a story is part of what this class is supposed to have at this time: a little talk "lesson", a craft and something to take home. The class was supposed to be for pre-schoolers, but the ages have gone up from just 3-4 year olds (and their parents) up to kg. and first graders, so this book can be used for a wide range of ages and abilities.
ill never look at a paper plate the same.....we havent put it down yet ..creative well imformed, one of the best hands on craft books yet ....
My grandchildren came for a week's stay last summer and before they arrived I looked for activities which would be enjoyable and keep them engaged. I ordered several books from and this one turned out to be a gem. We spent hours working on projects from this book and when their visit was over, I ended up sending not only the book, but several "art" projects home with them. I bought a second copy so I can have it here in case I need to entertain young minds and hands again. I have recommended it to every grandmother I know. The materials are inexpensive, the projects are simple, clever, and captivating.
This has lots of ideas and I used alot of them to teach 4-7 year olds.
