Product Description
Winter Day Play! puts the fun back into cold, snowy days for parents and young children. Instead of the same old snow angels, they can try a Layer Up Relay that will get them bundled up fast, Snow Painting with spray bottles filled with food coloring, and making Snow Cream with fresh fallen snow. Kids will delight in building a Japanese Snow Cottage or playing the Native American Snow Snake Game. More than 70 activities will keep kids busy learning, exploring, and having fun all winter long. When it is just too cold to go outside, they'll make Eskimo Yo-Yos, have a Marshmallow Sculpture Contest, or make a Snowflake Mobile. Parents and teachers can surprise kids with a Topsy-Turvy party, a Hawaiian luau, or a Winter Picnic. Whether in a group or by themselves, kids will find things to do inside or outside, wherever they live. ... Read more

No More Boredom!
Parents who dread the winter months because there's just nothing for the kids to do outside, fear no more! Nancy F. Castaldo, author of Rainy Day Play!, brings to light plenty of creative winter games and activities, as well as touching on some old favorites.

While several activities in this book have been around for years, such as the snow angel and building snow castles, the author shows us many different ways to enjoy a wonderful snowy day.

There are plenty of winter games as well, including "Basket Snow Ball", "Knock 'Em Over", and the "Snow Snake Game". One of my favorites is called "Hoops" which is a simple snowball target game using a hula hoop and a pinecone.

From the pages of "Winter Day Play", kids can discover snow painting, make their own snow shoes, or learn how to build that perfect snowman. Fun ideas include studying real snowflakes or doing a melting study, or why not create your own paper ones.

Another fun winter project for kids is to create a "Bird Buffet Tree". The author explains how to recycle your Christmas tree by decorating it outside with homemade bird treats. Your feathered friends will love this Christmas present!

Amongst the games and activities you will find warming recipes and fun things to do indoors as well. So the next time the snow falls, pull out this book and be prepared to have a blast!

Intriguing
I was surprised to discover that there are knitting and crocheting patterns available for the Kindle and thought it worth a little over a buck to find out what they're like.For cost reasons and color limitations, vintage patterns like this one seem ideal.They were created in and for a black and white world.

Materials required are 1 2 oz (50 g) ball of main color yarn and 20 yds each of 3 contrast colors (yellow, green, & red). Sock needles in size 3 (3.25 mm).Gauge is 13 stitches to 2 inches.The pattern is only in 1 size, for 5-7 years of age. (It would be helpful if reviewers of others in this vintage pattern line include in their reviews this materials/gauge/size information that buyers of modern patterns are used to seeing up front.)

The negatives: The first line of the pattern is a bewildering "Finished size 21 inches x 68 inches".If that were true it would be more of an afghan than a mitten!
The pattern claims to have a chart, but I was unable to find it. However, it would be a simple matter to create a chart from the clear photo on the first page.
The link to more Northern Lights Vintage patterns for Kindle goes to an amazon page that finds no such products.The way to find more is to search the Kindle store for "knit", "crochet", or "Northern Lights Vintage".

Positive:Patterns on Kindle is an intriguing idea. It certainly would make them portable for travel or trips to the yarn store.They will need to be done a little better than this one, with actual charts and "up front" information on the amazon page.

Product Description
The Arts & Crafts Movement had a profound effect on twentieth century design. It was a precursor to the minimalism of the day, yet imbued with a quiet eloquence based in careful, exquisite design. The natural materials, the subtlely organic forms began to shape living spaces across the country. In California, whose population was swelling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, so-called "Mission Furniture" seemed perfectly at home amidst the Spanish influenced architecture of the past and the bungalows that were beginning to line the streets. This new book is a survey of the influence of the Arts & Crafts Movement in the home. Drawn from an exhibit at the California Heritage Museum in Santa Monica, it covers everything from furniture to pottery, from lighting to books. Each item is illustrated in its setting, giving it a decorative context. In addition the items appear in individual full color photographs, showing its detail. Among the interesting collections is a group of chairs that virtually shows the evolution of the mission style. This book will delight and inform. ... Read more

The art and craft of ceramic sculpture
I think that next to 'The Potters Dictionary', this is the next 'must have' book.It is an old one, published in 1973, but there is no change in techniques regarding ceramics.The difference is, it explains so clearly, every step you need to take, and every topic you can think of.I was delighted to find the answers to countless questions that I had pestered Tutors for, ever since I became involved in the craft.Every Teacher should have this one and every student if you can get your hands on lt.

Wonderful book
One of the most acclaimed and sought after books on ceramics ever published. Very in-depth. 250+ pages of detailed text, charts and photos. ... Read more
