for decades as one way to encourage them to work with their hands
and discover a skillful craft they love to practice. It also is a
great way for traditionally educated kids who are home for the
summer, or in afterschool programs, or with their families on the
weekends, to do fun activities that will stimulate their
imaginations and creativity. This book will feature crafts such as:
Felted acorns Paper beads Nature wreaths Cocoa mint lip balm Woven
willow hearts Finger knit bracelets Eco-dyed kitchen towels Fairy
tale treehouse Flower crowns Bug hotel With the same lush
photography as The Call of the Wild + Free, this book includes
