Book Details

25 Latino Craft Projects

With more than 75 detailed illustrations and step-by-step instructions for making masks, cornhusk dolls, beads, paper flowers, piñatas, and Incan headdresses, the creative activities in this book don't require expensive or hard-to-find materials. Also included are easy recipes for such delectables as tamales and gorditas. Each chapter includes an activity for preschoolers, after-schoolers (over 6 years old), and families (all ages). Related resources help you to turn each craft project into a comprehensive program by incorporating songs, poems, and books.

At their best, libraries can serve as a nucleus where people with different backgrounds and traditions can come together and learn from each other. While Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States, this book acts as a powerful tool for reaching out to everyone—Latinos and non-Latinos alike. Use Borrego's and Pavon's tips on developing and publicizing unique cultural programs to make a lasting impression on your community.
