Ages 3 to 9 years. In these pages, children can explore roots, rhythms, and traditions from all corners of the earth while crafting their own art and artefacts. From Kachina dolls of the American Southwest to worry dolls from Central America to Egyptian paper beads, these crafts reveal details about cultures across the world. Step-by-step instructions are included for fifty projects, including: Korhogo Mud Cloth and Wodaabe Mirror Pouch from Africa; Chippewa Dream Catcher and Inuit Finger Masks of the Native Americans of North America; Japanese Kokeshi Doll and Thai Hanging Owl from Asia; Mexican Folk Art Tree of Life and Guatemalan Green Toad Bank from Mexico and Central America.
This book was exactly what I was looking for when teaching ages 3-6 in a summer camp program entitled Art Around the World. It has child appropriate activities and represents various cultures. I am happy to have made the purchase and grateful to its content.
