Publisher's Description of Book of Crafts First Grade
This Book of Crafts has a craft project for each literature read-aloud in the First Grade Read-Aloud set. The crafts in this book have been carefully chosen to promote skill growth and coordination, but the most important component is fun.
Craft activities are vital for the early elementary years. Children develop fine motor skills, coordination, thinking skills, and character skills like patience through crafts. Equally significant, young children mature in their ability to express themselves, build self-esteem and enjoy learning. Thankfully, Memoria Press has combined the benefits of art with quality literature to create a complete developmental experience with appeal for families whether homeschool or private/public school, Memoria Press user or a family whose core is living books and Charlotte Mason studies.
Each book offers one project per book in their read aloud package. Projects use commonly found items and the included templates. Complete supply list and instructions are included. A perfect resource for the crafty and not so crafty parent, as activities are well explained and easy to follow. See individual grade level for more details. sc. ~ Deanne
