Most materials are readily available from hobby shops, hardware and fabric stores, or your local grocery. You may find some of the materials in your home-or even in your own backyard. Don't be afraid to substitute if you think something else may work instead of-or better than-what is suggested. The emphasis here is on being creative.

For your convenience, the crafts are divided into sections according to the main type of material used:

  • Paper Productions: Create fantastic paper products like a rocking horse, newspaper fan, and building logs.
  • Kitchen Capers: Craft everyday food items into potato hedgehogs, apple votive candles, or pasta butterflies.
  • Natural Necessities: Design dandelion jewelry, mud building bricks, or nature masks.
