Woodland Crafting: 30 Projects for Children - Paperback

"A feast for the eye and the soul, for the imagination, too. Every new page will lead you outdoors to forage, collect, make and do. This is a book for the budding Swallow or Amazon." --David Bond, Project Wild Thing (from his foreword)

Woodland Crafting guides the reader through making things with wood--in the woods--with a series of beautifully hand-drawn illustrations. The author provides essential knowledge and skills to complete a range of craft projects, ranging from simple to advanced and from functional structures to creative outdoor play forms.

Readers will learn to choose and work with wood effectively using simple tools, tying knots, and developing one's own designs to make masks and puppets, night torches and staffs, arrows, jewelry, ladders, shelters, chairs for stargazing, and much more.

This book provides everything needed to know to have fun working with wood.

"This book is a real woodland companion and will, I Guarantee, increase any learner's enjoyment, understanding, and 'feeling' for our woods and woodcrafts. Happy 'crafting and creating.'" Jon Cree, Chair of the Forest School (from his afterword)Previously published as Making Woodland Crafts.
