Marvelous projects that any beginning crafter can do with readily available materials. Most could be seen as skills that can then be adapted to make modern versions of the crafts - for example, one could make a woven basket from the strips of plastic that bind shipping cartons. Some projects make

toys, some make useful items, and some make decorative items. All are presented on a single page-spread with a simple illustration of the item in a traditional setting and the step-by-step done clearly & boldly.

Pioneer Crafts would be a great book for an elementary teacher or middle school social studies teacher. There are 19 easy crafts in this book that don't require too many supplies. The directions are clear and easy to follow and always include clear drawings to assist the visual learner! The cost of

this book unfortunately could be rather costly since it appears to be out of print. However, there are used copies on Amazon.com. Pioneer Crafts is a great resource.
