Every time I
look at this book I want to rush outside and look for sticks to play with. I’m
sure it will inspire children and adults to feel the same.
Although the book is
aimed at children 8 to 11 years, I think it’s perfect for any age group, as
younger children can be assisted and encouraged by adults or older children to
create wonderful, imaginative, fun treasures too. I’ve seen the fabulous stick
dens my three year old grandson and his friends make at pre-school.
The book is
divided into eight sections: Adventure sticks, Magic sticks, Creative sticks,
Stick games, Sunny sticks, Musical sticks, Watery sticks and Woodcraft &
wildlife.
The photographs are fabulous as they showcase many of the activities
and you just want to ‘get out there’ and create. The authors also suggest using
other simple materials like natural paints and clay which Mother Nature also
provides for free.
