Welcome to washcloth crafts!
Hurray!! The new book is now available on Amazon! The cover picture is not up yet, but I have provided it on several sites, including this one.
The instructions are all in color, which I think is essential for clarity sake, not to mention the fact that our children have grown up with everything in color from TVs to computers. There are factoid lists accompanying each critter to help facilitate group leaders, and mom or dad teachers. In the front of the book there are instructions on how to hand sew on terrycloth and party tips, as well as general information on working with washcloth crafts. Many of the critters can be glued with non-toxic, non-flammable fabric glue.
There is something to challenge every age group, and something for the little ones to do easily, too. Washcloth crafts may appear difficult at first glance, but once the kids make a few, they will only need to look at the illustrations to figure out how to make them.
I personally have a thing about bows and hearts, but you may want to leave them off, when using the critters as a Cub Scout or Boy Scout activity. If you want to use ribbon, just tie it in a knot around the neck, or use twine for a more manly look. For the tortoise, for example, use circles for eyes and triangles for the toes, instead of hearts. Viola! You have a boy tortoise!
I hope the kids have hours of fun making and playing with their new, handmade toys!
Happy Crafting!
