Randel McGee

Paper Crafts for Halloween (ages 7-9 years) is a craft/how-to book written by Randel McGee, a life-long paper cutter and puppeteer, who shares some of the designs he has created after years of trial and error. Paper Crafts begins with a brief history of Halloween from ancient times (Celts/Druids) to modern-day traditions with additional anecdotes introducing each project. A boxed list of materials starts each set of clear and direct step-by-step instructions for eight Halloween designs including: Scarecrow jumping jack -- Flying bat -- Haunted house with ghosts -- Bat and ghost chains -- Standing little witchie -- Standing black cat -- Skull headdress -- Goofy goggles. Paper Crafts for Halloween ends with patterns to enlarge, a Halloween bibliography, and an index. Color photo illustrations are featured on every double page spread, along with an attractive and colorful top-edge border in the style of Mexican paper cut-out pictures. Children, parents, and teachers alike will enjoy making these kid-friendly projects.… (lisätietoja)
