Great craft guide to connect children with other cultures.

Starting with the dedication "We are all related," this book goes on to unite each one of us, no matter what heritage we hold close to the heart. A craft from each culture is represented with step-by-step directions and a picture of the finished product. Countries from all over the world are represented here: North America (United States, Mexico, Canada), Central America (Guatemala, Panama), Caribbean (Haiti, Puerto Rico), South America (Peru, Ecuador, Brazil), Africa (Morocco, W. Africa, Ghana), Asia (Turkey, Java, Bali, India, Japan, China, Cambodia), and Europe (England, Italy, Poland, Russia, Greece), Australia (New South Wales and the Northern Territory), and Greenland (North Inspectorate).Great way to introduce other countries and cultures to children as young as 5 years old. Great teaching tool to have as a resource for craft needs.
