The Creative Family: Simple Projects and Activities for You and Your Children That Encourage Imagination and Nurture Family Connections

Popular Maine-based craft blogger Amanda Blake Soule has written a delightful guide to crafting with children from a unique, inventive viewpoint. Based on the four elements of self, child, family, and community, Soule defines creativity not by using finger paints, but by cultivating creativity through how to best live a full life. Projects include freezer-paper stenciling, stuffed art, finger knitting, a seasons tree, and birthday crowns. With full-color photographs (including many of Soule's three children) and resources.
