Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 745.50284 EAN: 9781933653051 ISBN: 1933653051 Label: Redleaf Press Manufacturer: Redleaf Press Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 160 Publication Date: February 01, 2007 Publisher: Redleaf Press Studio: Redleaf Press Editorial Review: Product Description: Make Your Own Playdough, Paint, and Other Craft Materials contains more than one hundred recipes for making craft materials—dough, clay, paint, glitter, and other creative materials—with young children. Parents, as well as childcare providers and teachers, will find recipes that use ingredients easily found in their kitchens. Many of the recipes have less than five ingredients and take just minutes to make. Besides saving money by not buying commercial craft materials, the process of making the materials can be just as fun and educational as the activities that can be done with the finished products. Included with the activities are some new ideas for materials that providers and teachers can use in discovery bottles and discovery tables in childcare settings. In addition to common craft materials, there are recipes for: • Dryer lint clay • Edible candy clay • Non-toxic scratch-and-sniff paint • Waterproof glue • Sidewalk chalk • Clean mud • Bubbles • Soap crayons • Bath salts • Perfume • Invisible ink • Colored macaroni or rice Children will be thrilled to discover the works of art they can create with their new craft materials as they enhance their senses of touch, taste, smell, and sight. All of these recipes have been tested for safety and outcomes if followed as directed. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A giftto my daughter with the four kids. Can't say she'll ever have time to look into it but she surely buys enough of the real stuff that she should. Can't say that I've looked into it myself. Rating: - Handy book and a fun way to spend time with childrenI think this book is wonderful! If you have any of the "how to make and do things" type of books some of these recipes might be included but to see them all laid out in order with recipes for different things is very nice! Plus most of the recipes all share common ingredients so you don't need to buy a lot of hard to find stuff for each project. The way this book is laid out,with one recipe per page and large print,is very easy for children to read.My daughter really enjoyed being able ...

Great ideas to keep her busy when the weather is too hot to get outside(or as winter approaches too cold!). I love the ideas and my daughter has loved the varied activities in her "art" time! Rating: - Make Your Own Play Dough ReviewI have to assume that this book is very good. I bought it for someone else and had it sent directly to them. They specifically asked for it by name and author. Rating: - Preschooling on a budgetEvery parent, teacher, childcare provider, and scout leader should have this budget friendly book. The variety of recipes, science experiments, and resourceful materials presented are valuable for expanding a child's education. Using just about everything a person already has in his/her kitchen, creative materials can be formed with little cost. It includes over 100 recipes, and presents ideas for every season of the year. I recommend buying this book, not just to have fun with your ... Read More |
