Painted Rocks [With One Rock and 1 Paintbrush and 8 Acrylic Paints]
Filled with lush, full-color photography, this rock-painting kit features two 30-million-year-old smooth river rocks, eight acrylic paints, some wiggle eyes, and a paintbrush. Young artists will be inspired to go from plain rocks to magic with nothing but their imaginations and the clear instructions found in the book. We sent blank, unpainted rocks to dozens of illustrators and kids and, just like that, we received hundreds of pieces of durable, round, authentic art by return mail. The transformation was incredible -- from rocks to magic with nothing but a wet paintbrush. Find out for yourself with Painted Rocks, a full-color book of instruction and inspiration, complete with paints, a brush, wiggle eyes and one river-smooth rock, thirty million years in the making. |

Book of Paper Airplanes (Klutz S.)
Making paper airplanes doesn't feel like science. And it's not quite art. Near as we can figure, it's magic. Sure paper airplanes fly because of good, old reliable physics. And it takes a sharp eye and a clean fold to make them right. But launching a regular old piece of paper into the sky so that it soars, loops and glides--that's pure magic. We present here a complete guide to folding aerobatic amazements. The ten airplanes in this book are the best we've ever seen; easy to make, forgiving of mistakes, attractive and flight-ready under all kinds of conditions. Clear instructions and step-by-step illustrations make even the most impressive planes kid do-able, while trimming and tweaking tips give basic principles of flight instant real-world relevance. This big (10" x 12") book comes complete with 40 sheets of flight-tested, ready-to-fold paper, printed on both sides in a variety of 20 colorful patterns, including leopard print, wood grain, hot rod flame? and lose-it-on-the-lawn grass. It's everything you need to rule the skies. |

Twirled Paper:
Make Almost Anything with Simple Paper
Strips (Klutz S.)
Quilling is the 500-year-old art of curling strips of paper to make decorative scrollwork doodads. In olden days, the paper was curled around quill feathers, hence the name. Since quills are a little hard to come by nowadays (turns out the birds prefer to keep them), we're calling this uniquely satisfying craft "twirling," and we're thrilled to be bringing it to a whole new generation. Outside the book is a bound-on pack containing everything required to get twirling: glue, a custom twirling wand and 100 brightly colored paper strips, plus a packet of googly eyes. Inside is a cornucopia of ideas for twirled art: aliens, alphabets, bugs, birds, cats, cows, flowers, frogs, food, moons, monkeys and more. Thirty projects are given the step-by-detailed-step treatment, with coiled creations getting progressively more intricate as new techniques are introduced. By the end, kid-crafters will be twirling up their own unique designs and using them to make greeting cards, picture frames, window hangings, pencil toppers, dioramas and other masterpieces. Whimsical charm meets unlimited potential: Thank heaven for little twirls. |
