Make and Do

I Thought this week I would take a look at some of the crafts offered up in Make and Do. These are great simple projects that little kids can do on a rainy afternoon, even older kids. I may make a mask and wander around the neighborhood like the kids in the picture, but someone might call the cops on me.

Trina Schart Hyman (again I hope this is the right artist link) did the cute illustrations of the painting gnomes, the masked kids, invading papercraft martians and instruction illustrations.

Make and Do

I recently liberated our old set of World Book Childcraft Encyclopedia set from my mom's storage room. This set is the 1979 edition and all the kids in the pictures are sporting bell bottoms, crocheted sweaters and pigtails tied with that thick colored wool only kids from the 70's would remember. Of the set of 15 my favorite was No.11 "Make and Do", the one with all the crafts. I would spend more time flipping through the book looking at the crazy pictures than actually doing the crafts.
