 Window
Art (Klutz) - This book and paint set was an
instant hit among my children and every one of their friends! They have regular
“socials” at our house, and the creation of window art is a favorite activity at
these gatherings.Window Art comes with six bottles of peel-off paint: five 22 ml/.74 oz bottles of color (purple, blue, green, yellow, and red) and one 40 ml/1.36 oz bottle of black paint for outlines. The book contains more than a 100 ready-to-trace designs. The craft is simple: place the included plastic sheet over the desired design, trace the outline with black paint, and fill it in with color. Let it dry and then stick it on any glass surface, such as a mirror or window. Since a whole group of kids like to participate at once in our house, we use clear, plastic report covers to allow more than one person to work at the same time and to extend the amount of available space for their art. The only drawback is that there isn't enough paint in the set to satisfy the demand for someone who likes to create lots of art or for a group of users. Fortunately, a deluxe refill kit it available and is highly recommended. Spiral-bound hardcover book and paint #6436 Window Art Book Only - No paints or plastic sheet. Book Only #6436X $5.00   |

 The Christmas Box by Richard Paul Evans (read by Richard Thomas) -
"Whatever the reason, I find
that with each passing Christmas the story of the Christmas box is told less and
needed more. So I record it now for all future generations to accept or dismiss,
as seems them good. As for me, I believe. And it is, after all, my story." So
begins The Christmas Box, the touching story of a widow and the young
family who moves in with her.Evans wrote this Christmas tale for his two daughters, composing a story about a family very much like his own. They move into the home of an elderly widow and discover a long-lost hoard of letters written by the woman to her daughter. The complete book on one cassette. Running time: approximately 1.5 hours. #7024
Cassette, out of print, one copy available. No shrink wrap. |

families and communities throughout America. With succinct, lively
text and beautiful photographs, the book celebrates African-American culture and
helps us to understand and appreciate this special holiday.

Readers are introduced to the symbols of the holiday, such as the mkeka (a special placemat), kinara (candleholder), and kikombe cha umoja (unity cup). Important concepts, like the seven principles, are explained. In addition, a note from the book's consultant, aimed at parents and teachers, puts the holiday in its full cultural and historical perspective. Hardcover, 32 pages, 8.5"x10". Ages 10+. #3197 |
