Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A craft book with 35 projects that can be made from things found in your cupboard, house or garden.
Why we love it:
This is a terrific craft book that celebrates the simple crafts of days gone by. The projects are cute and whimsical and will especially appeal to girls. The book is broken down into 5 chapters - Salt Dough, Paper Mache, Recycling, Natural and Fabric – with step-by-step instructions and photographs for each project. Old gift-wrapping paper, clothes, odd buttons and beads can all be used in an imaginative way, as can pine cones, tree bark, shells and other fascinating natural bits and bobs. Gifts for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends are here, together with games and toys that can be made and then played with again and again.
