For children, potential is limitless, curiosity is an electrical current, and every moment is open to the possibility of the unexpected. This book is a celebration of childhood through the crafts and activities that invite wonder and play. The twenty-five projects and activities here are meant to speak to the way children engage with the world. These projects are stepping-off points-activities that spark curiosity, an adventure, or an investigation. They're about getting to know the world inch by inch. They're about exploring imaginary universes and running through real forests. They're about living in childhood ... regardless of your actual age. They're about being a kid. Book jacket.
