Waving the flag on the Fourth of July is only one way to celebrate pride in our country. There are many other days (Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Veteran's Day or any day) and many other ways to honor the USA. Kathy Ross offers clearly illustrated step-by-step instructions for an array of patriotic projects based not only on our flag but also on other symbols such as the American Eagle, Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty, and the Liberty Bell.

Provides instructions for creating a variety of crafts with patriotic themes, including a firecracker lapel pin, flag mosaic, American eagle magnet, fireworks trinket box, Liberty Bell favors, and more.

A collection of 8 patriotic photos -- most of them include pre-school age children and the flag -- accompany the text of the Star Spangle Banner.

Say goodbye to boring days with over one hundred easy and quick craft projects! All creations are fully illustrated with simple step-by-step instructions. Kids of all ages will enjoy making a desk organizer made out of a cereal box, turning a water bottle into a piggy bank, creating a placemat of memorable pictures, building a wreath out of clothes pins, dressing up their bulletin board and lamp shade, and many more crafts. Cool crafts are also included for just about every special occasion including getting ready for back-to-school, holidays, birthdays, and parties.

Kathy Ross, America's crafts-for-kids expert, shares some very original hands-on ideas for celebrating Easter. There are two terrific Easter Basket projects, one made from a tissue box and the other from coffee filters. An easy-to-make but dramatic project is the Easter Corsage, a perfect Easter gift. In the Easter decorations category there is the Basket of Flowers Door Wreath, and a great idea for a bouquet made of Eggshell Flowers. And, for your Easter table, the Bunny and Basket Place Cards are adorable. Each of the crafts is made from things found around the house and simple, inexpensive craft items. The crafts can make very satisfying parent/child projects for the younger ones, while older children can do them on their own.
