Arts & Crafts: Unleashing Creativity and Building Community
As more people seek the satisfaction and stress-relief of arts and crafts, sales of craft supplies have been on the increase. Baby boomers introduce their kids, especially tweens, to the cool “retro” hobbies of their youth. Families and friends are rediscovering old-fashioned favorites like quilting and scrapbooking. This year, manufacturers are finding innovative ways to use technology to enhance traditional arts and crafts and devise new classics enjoyed by children and adults alike.
Bring the beauty of the garden to your wall! With Rosalinda TileArt, you can make beautiful finished artwork using high gloss, self-adhesive vinyl tiles. Not only do children love the satisfaction of making their own masterpiece, they develop essential fine motor skills as they use the TileArt tool to lift and place the sticker tiles from the sheet to the pattern. In the process they also learn to follow a color key by matching colors to symbols. - Aire Norell ToyDirectory Product ID#: 1918 (added 12/14/2004) . TD
