Best-selling children's craft expert Kathy Ross offers a collection of 65 holiday-based craft projects, each one guaranteed to turn out beautifully. Patterned after Millbrook’s original BEST HOLIDAY CRAFTS EVER bindup, this volume contains 100% new material. In addition to Valentine’s Day, Earth Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Kwanza, and Christmas, a number of new holidays have been added, including Flag Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, President’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day. There are creative decorations, favors, cards, and gifts designed to enhance holiday celebrations throughout the year. Step-by-step illustrated instructions call only for scissors, paste, household recyclables, and an occasional craft-shop item. The sturdy, wipe-clean cover conceals a spiral binding that lets pages stay open and lie flat for easy use.

Stories to inspire, crafts to decorate the home, gingerbread houses of all sorts to bake, and drinks to bring cheer to all who come by: these are just some of the ways to make Christmas very, very merry, and more than 500 of them are beautifully collected right here. How will you celebrate? Perhaps the traditional American style seems most appealing: then make a Tole Painted Nativity, whip up some delicious Hot Buttered Rum, and read “The Night Before Christmas” aloud. For a classic Victorian holiday, sing “Deck the Halls,” place a charming Violin and Cherub wreath on the door, and sip some mulled wine. Or choose the Country, Southwestern (a little salsa verde, anyone?), International, or fun-filled Not-Quite-Grown-Up style.

Provides instructions for more than seventy-five craft projects for Valentine's Day, Easter, Earth Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa.

Introduces different forms of transportation through twenty-two craft projects.

Provides easy-to-follow instructions to create crafts involving insects, including a bumblebee changepurse, a caterpillar pin, and a flashing firefly.

So get out your scissors and paste and a few household recyclables, and celebrate your community!
