Books like Creative costumes for children (without sewing) by Walker, Mark

Here is first aid for those rainy days, sick days, or just those long days with your preschooler... ***Child's Play*** is a fresh, delightfully entertaining compendium of crafts, games, and projects that will help keep your energetic 18-month- to-6-year-old happy, busy, and challenged. Here are inventive and educational activities from the very simple—newspaper hats and body tracings—to the more complex—making and playing musical instruments, cooking, and experimenting with science projects—all helpfully arranged by age or ability range so that the book can be consulted and put to work at a glance! With clear, straightforward instructions and illustrated with more than 100 charming line drawings. Child's Play is a boon for parents/teachers, and babysitters, a veritable treasure trove of kid-pleasers in an inviting and easy-to-use format.

Pirates & Pompoms is packed with playtime ideas for creative parents and carers. Follow a few simple steps to create handmade costumes, toys and props and you'll keep children entertained with make-believe worlds all day long. Only basic cutting, sticking and sewing skills are required. Focusing on these three popular themes (pirates, circus, and woodland animals), projects include: eye patches and a telescope, stuffed animal friends, leaf bunting, circus ringmaster's hat and a big-top canopy den. Each project includes a simple template and illustrated step-by-step instructions. It is perfect for crafty adults looking for holiday activities that will keep little ones happy and busy.
