If you were a subscriber of Martha Stewart Kids magazine you are familiar with the ingenious and imaginative craft ideas that appeared in its pages, issue after issue. Finally, there is a compilation book containing some of those best-loved crafts and it comes out this Tuesday.
Martha Stewart's Favorite Crafts for Kids focuses on craft projects
that children, aged three to twelve, can make with their parents. These projects
are fun, yet serve a practical purpose; children can wear, decorate, and play
with what they make. Filled with ideas for a range of ages, skill levels, and
interests, this book lets children's creativity run wild, while creating
precious memories as parents and kids learn and create as a
team.
The book, which is 352 pages, has seven chapters - each based around its own theme: Create A New Character, Build A New World, Make Your Own Fun, Design It Yourself, Experiment And Explore, Keep It Together, Give Something Handmade. At the back of the book there is a list of tools and materials needed to make the projects, a source guide and templates for tracing. You can order the book here. Below are some photos from its pages.
There is a new New York Times article about Martha Stewart talking about more change coming. I think you would be interested. It shows the July/August Living issue (which has a flat logo, getting rid of the outlined letters, and the letter G in Living is a different font. Also, it mentions her upcoming Halloween issue which I'm thrilled about.
