Cutting up with Paper — Peter Weiss

This fun book gives easy-to-follow instructions for making a surprising number of imaginative projects - toys, art novelties, people, animals, circuses, and whole villages - all from paper and a few tools. After giving general instructions for working with paper and the use of the required tools, Mr. and Mrs. Weiss give clear, step-by-step instructions for each item. Then they show the reader how paper craft can be used for such school projects as bulletin boards, costumes, and dioramas showing scenes from history. Illustrated by Sally Gralla, this book will provide children with many hours of creative activity, and will be welcomed by parents, teachers, librarians, and group leaders. [Ages 8 and up]
