I
felt inspired to make this simple Easy
Shapes House or Home Craft by a book
called: The Shape of Things, author, Dayle Ann Dodds,
illustrated by Julie Lacome. The
back cover has an excerpt of the first page:
"A square is just a square,
Until you add a roof,
two windows and a door,
then it's much, much more."
The illustrations are childlike and very appealing to the young
and the young at heart.
The illustrator, Julie Lacome comments:
"For the borders of each page," she says, " I used
potato-cut printing, as children do in school--that was the most
fun!
Look for this title at your library, the children will love it and
it will help get them excited about doing the house craft
activity.
The House or Home of Shapes Craft activity is a complement to the
