The instructions are easy to follow, and the results will delight the children
Kwanzaa is a celebration of the African roots of Black Americans. It is relatively very young, having been started only in 1966. However, the principles of Kwanzaa go back many centuries to celebrations that Africans performed before they were captured and turned into slaves.
This book is a collection of twenty different craft activities suitable for the early middle or elementary school child. It is an ideal activity book for teachers of social studies in the elementary years. The instructions are easy to follow, and the results will delight the children. It is also a good resource for leaders of Brownie, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops. The inexpensive nature of the materials will make it easy for all to use.

very disappointing
I didn't realize that this book was written for children.....I was so disappointed when it arrived.There is a bit of information about the history of Pysanka but other than that and a few nice pictures, it is of very little use for an adult crafter.I'm sure kids would get something out of it.

A Wonderful Blend of Tradition and Art
As an elementary educator, I find that this book is very well-accepted, enjoyed, and useful in the classroom.It should fare just as well at home.Not only does it have some lovely photos of completed eggs, it has a simple step-by-step egg project for children to do.But above and beyond this, it explains the tradition and folklore behind pysanky and krashanky eggs.I enjoyed this book as much as the kids did! ...
