Kathy Ross

Kathy Ross has created an amazing new collection of crafts ranging from Skeleton Scatter Pins to an Owl Goodie Bag that glows in the dark. For those who like to wear their crafts, the Ghost Zipper Pull or the Batty Ear Dangles will draw lots of attention. For the more sedate, the Frankenstein Treasure Keeper is guaranteed to scare off all intruders. Whether kids want to make Masks For Dolls or frighten their friends with Something Wierd In A Jar,...

Hands-on craft projects can make learning phonics lots of fun as well as help children remember what sound goes with what letter. In this book designed to supplement the teaching of letter sounds, Kathy Ross draws on her thirty years experience as a preschool teacher and curriculum developer. She has designed an easy-to-make craft based on the sound of each letter from the alphabet, from Activity on an Anthill to a Zipper-Bag Zoo Book.

These number-based crafts are designed to help children remember the shape and the concept of numbers one through ten. Beginning with a One and Only Me craft and ending with a Ten in an Envelope Bed, each number has its own special project. Then there are a series of projects that show the many ways in which numbers are used, such as a Play Cell Phone, a Play Alarm Clock, Coin Family Puppets, and Mama Foot-Long Worm and Her Twelve Baby Inchworms....
