The Arts and Crafts Busy Book offers suggestions and ideas for art activities as an alternative to using the TV as a baby-sitter. This book includes 365 art and craft activities for children from ages two to six, including drawing, simple sewing, papier-mâché, and painting projects. Basic craft recipes are also included for paint, play dough, clay, and more that can be made from ingredients found around the home.

Excerpt

Spice Turkey

[Items Needed]
-White glue
-Shallow container
-Construction paper, small paper plate, or small aluminum pie pan
-Pumpkin pie spice, allspice, ground cinnamon, or ground nutmeg
-Black and red markers

Pour the glue into the container. Dip your child's hand in the glue and press it, fingers spread, onto the paper, plate, or pie pan to make a handprint turkey. Have her sprinkle spices onto the turkey. When the glue is dry, use the black marker to draw an eye and beak on the thumb, and turkey feet at the bottom of the print. Use a red marker to draw a wattle around the beak.
