Kathy Ross Crafts Colors

Learning is fun!

These crafts are designed to help children remember colors by associating them with familiar things. Kathy Ross offers at least one wonderfully clever craft for every color in the rainbow, as well as for black, white, brown, pink (a childhood favourite!), and gray. For example, yellow is represented by a Yellow Caterpillar Cuff Pin and a Yellow Pages Corn Magnet. Green comes in the form of a Green Frog Zipper Pull and a Green Monster Gift Bag. The book ends with some beautiful multicolour projects, among them All Colours Alien Pencil Tops and Chatty Colour Family Puppets!

Kathy Ross has drawn on her 30 years experience as a pre-school teacher and curriculum developer to create crafts that pre-schoolers will enjoy with parental help, and that slightly older children can make on their own. Each of the 21 easy-to-make crafts features step-by-step illustrated instructions and is made from easy-to-find household materials.
