Description

50 seasonal projects to make with kids

Highlighting the best of each month of the year, Make and Takes for Kids offers 50 projects to make with kids, each centered around an upcoming holiday or season. The ideas are unique and simple to produce, and each project is thoughtfully constructed and designed to create an ideal environment and setting for crafting. Each craft requires little preparation, few supplies, and almost everything can be readily found at home or at a local craft supply store.

Crafting isn't just playtime; there's a purpose to all the gluing, cutting, and coloring. Children are learning hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, problem solving, math, teamwork, and individual expression. They are exercising creativity and building their imaginations. Make and Takes for Kids highlights the learning objectives and skills that children will attain as they complete each craft. Parents learn the benefits of spending time to create and craft with their children, and see the growth and creativity that children can experience while crafting.

Acknowledgments
Thank you to Roxane, Cindy, and Carol at Wiley for your support and guidance to make this book a reality. Thank you to Nicole for her amazing photography, which make my crafts come to life. Thank you to Make and Takes blog readers for their loyalty and encouragement. Thank you to all the educators in my life who made learning fun; you planted the seed in me to becoming a teacher myself, especially Mrs. Floor who had such creative holiday projects.
I want to thank my husband, Jordan, for always supporting me and my crafty endeavors. Thank you to my children Matthew, Lucy, and Anna for being my creative inspiration.Thank you to my family and friends, who have believed and supported me through this journey.

Crafting Overview
The reasons to craft with your children are virtually endless: discovery, wonder, exploration, creativity, learning, bonding, and the simple gift of your time. The projects in Make and Takes for Kids are unique but simple to produce, so all parents, educators, caregivers, and children can easily make them. Each craft requires little preparation and only a few supplies (discussed in the next chapter), which you can readily find at a local craft-supply store or even at home. With only a minimal investment, you will be well on your way to creating quality time by crafting together as a family.

Make and Takes for Kids contains 50 crafts to create all year long. It’s all about crafts, food, and fun, which is my motto over at my personal blog, Make and Takes (www.makeandtakes.com). Whether you’re looking for a winter day activity, a treat for Valentine’s Day, or a spooky-eye card for Halloween, this book includes all kinds of holiday- and seasonal-inspired projects that will get you crafting and creating with your children throughout the year.
The crafts and activities are organized by calendar month and include 3–4 mainstream holidays as well as seasonal projects. For each month, there are 3–4 crafts and at least 1 food project. I love to work with kids in the kitchen, so I’ve included some activities where you can create with food.
Many projects can be reused in different colors for a different holiday, or you can tailor a project to your customs and culture. For example, you can swap out the buttons from the Flag Button Card with the colors of the Irish flag to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day instead of the Fourth of July.
This book also includes several crafts that are eco-friendly. This is a great way to encourage children to reuse and recycle materials already found at home, while teaching children about frugality.
Learning Objectives
Crafting isn’t just about playtime; all of the gluing, cutting, and coloring serve an educational purpose as well. Children are learning hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, problem solving, math, teamwork, and individual expression. They are exercising creativity and enhancing their imaginations. Make and Takes for Kids provides ideas and activities that enhance learning. While making a project together, you can determine your child’s strengths and weaknesses. You can also praise your child’s improvement in a skill after he or she completes a project.
In this book, the learning objectives are stated at the beginning of each activity to let you know what types of skills your child might learn from making a craft project. (For more information, please refer to the “Learning while Crafting: A Learning Objectives Overview” at the back of this book.) It may take your child a few tries to master a skill, but keep in mind that this is a learning process. These p rojects also reinforce educational assessment and emphasize that crafting with kids has a lasting impact by teaching skills that children will use throughout their lifetime.
The Creative Process
Crafting with your child is not always about the end result. It is more about the process of how a child gets there. Don’t worry if the craft doesn’t come out looking perfect or doesn’t look like the one in the book. The creative process itself is the most important component when crafting with your children. Feel free to let your child discover a different way to create each craft or add something new to the project. I hope you can use this book as a stepping-stone to you and your child becoming more creative.

Basic Supplies

This basic supply list will get you through most of the crafts in this book. You can find everything you need at a local craft store, in your recycling bin, or at your grocery store. NOTE: A few supplies are recommended for adults only and are listed on the following pages.

• Beads: I used plastic “pony” beads for all the projects that require beads in this book. Pony beads are a type of plastic bead that have large holes for threading yarn or pipe cleaners. I recommend purchasing a large bag of colorful beads in order to save money
