Carving for Kids

par Robin Edward Trudel

Offert en anglais seulement

Divided into three age groups, these projects are designed to introduce children to the rewarding craft of carving. The youngest (ages 4 to 9) are taught the basics of stamping and how to use a screwdriver to follow a line pattern. The next group (ages 9 to 12) is shown how to use sanding sticks and bows to create a ladybug, a barrette, a spoon and a snowman.

Projects for the teenager introduce the blade and include a duck, a bear and a bearded face. Separate sections cover wood properties, tools and basic carving techniques. Adult assistance is needed for some steps.
