Super Simple Wetland Critter Crafts: Fun and Easy Animal Crafts

Yeah, a craft book! Author – Sammy Bosch introduces the book by giving some background on what a wetland is and what types of animals live there. Each of the eight animals has a sentence or two about them in a round bubble next to their photo, also, in a round bubble. The craft supplies are easy to acquire at Michaels, or Hobby Lobby, JoAnn Fabrics, Wal Mart, K-Mart or the like. This is a BIG plus, as far as I’m concerned! Several of the crafts use parts from egg cartons, Chenille stems ( pipe cleaners), paint, glue, pom-poms, and googly eyes.The finished craft is presented on the left-hand page, while the step-by-step directions are on the right-hand page. If the direction has its own photo, its number is inside a dark circle. Otherwise, the number for the direction is inside a light colored circle. When a specific photo is not given for the direction, looking at the photo of the finished craft is close at hand and easily furnishes any answer to the crafter’s question.

The crafts include: an Egg-cellent Turtle, Tennis Ball Turtle, Springy Bobble Frog, Scaly Shimmering Fish (a use for my unusable scratched up CDs), Crawling Cup Alligator, Hungry River Otter, Fuzzy Muskrat, and a Colorful Striped Salamander.

Super simple and super cute.
