Create Anything with Clay   10% Off

This sequel book to The Incredible Clay Book has ever so many great sculpting ideas. Basic technique instructions are clearly outlined, so your children know how to create the basic shapes, use sculpting tools and molds (made from things found around your house), and mix colors. We were intrigued with the lineup of 5 blanketed newborns made of clay, all with different realistic skin tones in the Color Mixing section! You'll find hundreds of very original, unique projects to try, from tiny animals to realistic clay candies and sweets, frogs, vehicles that really roll, dollhouse furniture, frames, jewelry, and much more. Big, easy instructions for making each clay figure are shown in large detailed "Step 1, Step 2" photographed format, so you can easily follow them. Comes with eight blocks of colorful polymer clay that won't dry out, but bakes to permanence in your oven. Wire-bound book with full-color photographs, on 64 glossy cardstock pages, will provide hours of artistic fun for ages 5 to adult.

Melty Beads 

Take some colorful plastic beads, put them in a creative design on a pegboard, get your Mom to iron across them with your help, of course, and presto! —off pops a permanent piece of art (and very fun standup toy)!

Make a Plate  

I have some dear drawings my boys made when they were very small tucked away in a folder, but they are yellowing by the year. Here is a practical way to cherish those sweet scrawled drawings—on an unbreakable, scratch-resistant, dishwasher-safe plate. Each kit includes all you will need to permanently "frame" your children's drawings. To make a plate, your child draws on special art paper (7 sheets included) with the enclosed 10 markers, or use your own washable felt- tip watercolor markers. The price of the kit includes the processing, but you will pay a $1.00 handling fee for return postage, as well as paying for the stamp for sending in the drawing. Mail in your drawing in the provided envelope and you will receive your child's artwork molded onto a 10" melamine dinner plate within ten working days. A unique gift for grandparents.

Beeswax Crayons  

I always have a tub of useless, broken crayon stubs hanging around. Do you? After 17 years of homeschool, I have learned something (thank goodness!)—it is worth every penny to buy quality art supplies. Seven years ago, I purchased an expensive quality set of German beeswax crayons in a tin. After 7 years of throwing away tubs of broken crayons, I noticed that my "German crayons" were still the children's favorite because of their brilliant colors that apply to paper so smoothly and beautifully. None of them were broken, as they are thick and solid, and easy to hold. And their sturdy little tin had outlasted oodles of paper crayon boxes. After doing a little math, I realized that I actually saved money by buying these excellent crayons. Art projects are more fun too, because the final product is remarkably more vivid in color and texture. These are the top quality crayons used in Waldorf and Montessori schools. Try these—you'll be glad you made the investment.
