Making the Children's Year

Thirty years since its original publication, The Children's Year has been a much-loved book that has never been out of print. Now called Making the Children's Year,with colour illustrations and new projects that bring it up to date, it will appeal to a new generation of people keen to engage children in creative play, the seasons and the joy of handcrafting.

Marije Rowling has revisited the book she originally co-wrote with two friends and brings new inspiration and ideas to a modern readership. Packed with all kinds of crafts, from papercrafting to building dens, she brings the seasons into the home. From beginners to experienced crafters, this book is a gift for parents and adults seeking to make toys that will inspire children – and to provide an alternative to a throwaway culture.
