Make Bake Grow - Cute gifts, seasonal decorations, things to do on rainy afternoons and sunny summer days

What Shall We Do Today? will encourage kids (and their parents) to get in touch with their creative side. For children, the experience of creating is every bit as important as the end result. Making, baking and growing will fire their imaginations, boost their self confidence and offers an inspiring alternative to endless hours spent in front of the computer or TV screen. What Shall We Do Today? is packed with more than 60 colourful, fun and imaginative projects by Catherine Woram, designed especially for boys and girls aged between three and 12 years. The book is arranged by season, and each section is crammed full of colourful ideas for cool crafting activities, including handmade gifts, things to grow and pretty decorations to make - absorbing activities to keep children busy and entertained during the long summer days and rainy afternoons alike.

All the classic crafting techniques are covered, from potato prints to papier mache, taking in sewing, decoupage, modelling, stencilling and much more along the way. Every project can be completed using readily available materials and in five or fewer steps - just follow the step-by-step instructions and you can't go wrong!

• Wooden spoon puppets
• Modelling with balsa wood
• Herb planters
• Mirror-image painting
