Synopsis: This book is a celebration of childhood through crafts and activities that invite wonder and play. The twenty-five projects presented here are meant to speak to the way children engage with the world, where potential is limitless, curiosity is an electrical current, and every moment is open to the possibility of the unexpected. These projects are not about what is produced in the end (although that part is fun too); they are stepping-off points--activities that spark curiosity, an adventure, or an investigation. Theyre about the process of getting there. Theyre about the conversations that happen while making things together. Theyre about getting to know the world inch by inch. Theyre about exploring imaginary universes and running through real forests. Theyre about living in childhood . . . regardless of your actual age. Theyre about being a kid. Projects include: Part One: Nature Seasonal Capes Earth House Bird of Paradise Mask Maple Leaf House Nature Fairy Color and Shape Activities Flip-Book Animations Zoetrope Magic Lantern Projector Part Two: Imagination Tree Shadows Play Tents and Structures Wands and Other Enchantments Boats for Sailing Imaginary Seas Natures Marionettes Natures Stage Adventures in Cartography Part Three: Play Paint Can Banjo Steel Drum Bows and Arrows Lawn Bowling Rube Goldberg Machine Exploration Bag Game Seeds Simple Drawstring Game Bag Wishing Kite
