Description
Containing 15 fantastic space-themed projects to make, The Space Craft Book will get children crafting and creating in no time. Aimed at boys and girls aged 3+, all of the projects can be made either from readily available items or from easy-to-source materials. Parents can have little to no crafting experience to help!
As well as space outfits to wear and essential astronaut accessories, there are also space-themed cakes and nibbles to make too. Projects include: constellation nightlight, space boots, mission control desk, booster pack, walkie talkie, and a giant cardboard rocket.
Authors Laura Minter and Tia Williams are two creative mums based in Brighton, UK. They started Little Button Diaries, their crafting and baking blog, in 2013 to show that having children doesn't mean you have to stop doing the things you love. They have won Best Craft Blog at the 2014 Mum and Dad (MAD) Blog Awards and a 2015 Brilliance in Blogging award in the crafts section.
Laura and Tia also write craft tutorials for craft superstore Hobbycraft, work on blog projects with high-street stationers Paperchase and Laura Ashley, and write a monthly craft or baking project for one of their local parenting websites, brightonmums.com. Their previous books for GMC Publications are: The Princess Craft Book, The Knight Craft Book, and Mini Makers.
Selling Points:
- Achievable projects for ages 3-9, some of which can be done alongside an adult.
- Handy templates provided to photocopy and cut out.
- Makes use of household items such as shoeboxes and cardboard tubes that would otherwise be thrown away.
- Companion title to The Princess Craft Book, The Knight Craft Book, and The Pirate Craft Book.
