paper-cutting

This attractive, inexpensive book by a mother/daughter team contains 21 paper-cutting projects that will interest children of any age. Coupled with content about each project, children are invited to make a butterfly egg, a caterpillar, a chrysalis, as well as flower projects, a flip book, and other attractive constructions. The cutting is too difficult for a very young child, but most of the projects are relatively simple and will interest 5 to 12 year olds. Each cut-out design is on the right facing page, with instructions and information on the left facing page. My grandchildren (ages 7 and 9) would take one look at this book and run for the crayons and scissors, immediately ready to dive in and cut up the book. But if they cut directly from the book, the instructions for the following project (on the back of the pattern page) would be destroyed. The book recommends that the crafts are copied onto heavier paper or card stock, and hopefully the adult using the book will have noted this suggestion and will have a copier and heavy paper on hand. This necessary preparation is the only limitation I found on this otherwise valuable additionto the educational literature. Carol A. Butler, News of the Lepidopterists' Society
