New Releases by Maria Bonfanti Esche

Children love learning about special days and celebrating them with arts and crafts. Skipping the typical green shamrocks, orange paper pumpkins, and red doily hearts, Kids Celebrate! lists 100 days to remember with 200 related activities for children and grown-ups. There's a Hansel and Gretel walk for Jakob Grimm's birthday, a Mexican fiesta for Cinco de Mayo, and a first aid kit to make in honor of Clara Barton's Birthday. The significance of each special day is explained in this educational tribute to the holidays, history, and accomplishments of many cultures and many people.

Provides craft projects, recipes, songs, sign-language terms, and other activities inspired by holidays, the birthdays of famous people, and other special events
