In this wonderful book youngsters ready for the joys of spring will find everything they need to make nine wonderful projects. All they will need in addition to the book are scissors, tape, glue, things to color and write with, a ruler, and “your creativity.” A few “eggstras” include such items as eggs, needle and thread, and cotton balls – all of which are easy to find and use. The book has easy to follow fully illustrated directions for each project, templates, stickers, colored papers, and stencils. In no time keen crafters will be making little baskets, 3-d hanging egg decorations, a paper flower wreath, and more.

This is one of the books in the “Pretty Simple Stuff” series.
