Designed for regular classroom use and not specifically for art education, Crafting Together is a series of arts and crafts activities modeled on the Hands-On Crafts for Kids concept. Each program is curriculum-based in terms of skills and includes six easy craft projects to supplement the teaching of academic subjects.
Each of the 13 programs covers a different theme (including seasonal, but not holiday projects). The series gives teachers two options for project execution: Students can work in a group to complete the project or they can work individually, with each student completing one part to create a finished project. Teamwork, interaction and creativity are stressed. All projects use easily-found general craft materials and recycled items, available through most school distributors or local retailers. A 116-page teachers guide and project instruction book accompanies the series and includes color photography, project instructions, supply lists, line art and patterns.
