I've worked on the book over the past year. It's been such a blessing to have this opportunity and experience in my life at just this time. I am so excited to have it completed, and even more excited to share it!

Here is a little glimpse at the inside of the book:

a big full-color photo of the finished craft, 
and step-by-step photos 
and easy to follow instructions for how to make it! 
It is so fun and easy to use!

There are 10 Holidays listed in this book and each one comes with 5 different craft ideas for kids. My goal with this book was to share crafts that are very SIMPLE and easy for kids to accomplish. Some of these will need help of adults depending on the child's age, but with the step-by-step photos each craft is easy to complete. 

The Holidays/Special Occasions included in this book are:

Valentine's Day
St. Patrick's Day
Easter
Mother's Day

Yarn Spiderweb - Halloween Craft for Kids



The last thing I want to encounter is a spider with fuzzy legs.......Unless, of course, it's in the form of a cute Halloween craft!


Supplies:

How to Make it:

1. Cut a LONG piece of yarn. Wrap it around a piece of craft foam and tie the beginning end to itself to secure it:





2. Keep on wrapping the long piece of yarn around and around from different angles and sides. When you get to the end of the yarn, tie it to an already wrapped around piece to secure it.




This is your SPIDER WEB!




3. With a different color of yarn, cut 3-4 pieces about 2-3 inches long. Choose where you want your spider on the web and tie the pieces around a web piece.





These are your spider legs!





4. Finally, glue a button over the middle of the legs. If you want you can also glue on googly eyes, or just leave it as is.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

And some birds come in just SHAPES! :)
Here is a fun and educational bird craft you can do with your little ones.
