Spark your child's creativity with the beautiful art of woodcarving!
Woodcarving is the perfect art for nurturing a child's creative spirit.
Requiring nothing more than a few simple tools and a little inspiration,
woodcarving allows children to express their imagination while fostering
manual dexterity and a sense of accomplishment. Carving for Kids
is a child-centered introduction to woodcarving with 11 skill-building
projects for children ages 4 to 17.
Carving for Kids emphasizes safe handling of cutting and carving
tools, and all project should be done with adult supervision, but
children will be able to complete these age-appropriate designs all by
themselves. Ranked by age level, the 11 projects in Carving for
Kids range from carving a name stamp (for the youngest woodworkers)
to carving a face (for teenage craftspeople). Easy, step-by-step
instructions guide children to the joy of coaxing shapes and figures
from solid blocks of wood. Carving for Kids also provides
information on computer-aided pattern-making, teaching children who face
learning challenges, and methods for instructing kids of any age group,
from elementary through high school.
Carving for Kids is a great way for you and your kids to learn
together--and you'll share your child's pride and confidence when you
see your young carver create unique handicrafts.
