Children need their hands. With fresh, contemporary motifs, they enthusiastically discover their creative powers. The new book offers unconventional, exciting suggestions. Initially, the basics of figurative design are explored using body shapes, faces, surfaces, etc. It's not about simple imitation, but about understanding and implementing one's own ideas and looking more closely. Various techniques and materials, from clay and modeling compounds to fabric, paper, stones, and recycled household items, are then playfully explored. All instructions are concise and manageable, ranging from easy to more refined, with many activities being spontaneous and requiring little preparation. In addition to the beautiful craft projects, there are exploration games and fantastic sculptor pantomimes, as well as further tips for children who wish to delve deeper into a topic.
