Grade 1-4-This companion volume to Kathy Ross Crafts Letter Shapes, Kathy Ross Crafts Letter Sounds, and Kathy Ross Crafts Triangles, Rectangles, Circles, and Squares! (all Millbrook, 2002) features fun creations that involve counting and measurement and whimsical, child-friendly artwork. For visual learners, there is also an illustrated supply list for each project. The 20 activities include a four-leaf clover necklace, a five-point star magnet, a play alarm clock, calendar markers, coin-wrapper puppets, and playing-card counters. Though they look easy, a few of the activities are too complex for young children and there are no recommendations for adult supervision. Some supplies will require purchase but most are common household or craft-box items.
