Made to Play!




 


I discovered Made by Joel a while ago and loved his approach to playthings - simple, inexpensive, and half the fun was in the making.  I finally ordered his book, and today we made the paper finger puppets. As I was making them I was thinking 'do I really need instructions for this?' but then at the same time, 'have I ever made these before in the many, many years of doing crafty things with kids?' And that's the genius of this book, everything looks do-able, so you sit down and do it.  There are plenty more advanced projects throughout the course of the book but they all have that fresh, inspiring vibe that really makes you want to whip out the scissors and get going.
