Crafts From Your Favorite Nursery Rhymes

Children never tire of hearing their favorite nursery rhymes, even though they have learned them by heart. This collection of crafts is a way to enhance the comforting familiarity of the old verses.

Some of the crafts are toys, while others such as the Old Woman’s Shoe Magnet or the Crying Kitten Soap Dispenser have practical use. These easy-to-make crafts feature step-by-step illustrated instructions and require only common household materials or simple craft items.

Provides instructions for twenty easy-to-make crafts based on nursery rhymes, including a Jack and Jill party hat, an old woman's shoe magnet, and a runaway dish and spoon puppet.
