Product Description: Travel the Globe with These Fun and Easy Projects!
There's nothing like the thrill of finding out about faraway places. Now you can meet the people and share the customs of different countries by creating some of the things that keep their cultures alive.
You'll make a bookmark with a Guatemalan design using a cardboard loom, or an Egyptian bead necklace using dough or store-bought clay. Learn how prehistoric people told stories by making your own version of a cave painting, or make a good-luck charm in the form of a Tibetan goodwill message flag. Kids Around the World Create! is full of fun crafts and activities that will teach you about the customs of cultures around the world.
Every country has something special to offer, and all the activities in this book help you enjoy and explore this diversity. All the crafts are easy to do and the supplies are made up of simple household materials. Have fun as you journey to distant and exciting lands!
Expect a taste and nothing more!!! Honestly, this book is great, but you could find more resources like what is found in this book on the internet. I own the whole series of the Play, Create and culture type books from this company/author. I feel I would have done better by searching the internet. If you see this book at the dollar tree, pick it up. Otherwise, do not pay full price. Expect a taste of games to play with kids, not the full course meal.
Fabulous book for kids! This is an outstanding book for kids and helps them learn a lot about different world cultures. The activities are fun and creative - I haven't seen a book like this in a long time. The 'good will message flag' activity from Tibet sends a wonderful message and is fun to make. In addition to the activities the author provides plenty of cultural information that kids and adults will find facinating. This book will be enjoyed by teachers, parents and kids from around the world.
