Arts Crafts

What are some really good arts and crafts books I can use for elementary and middle school kids?
I often do arts and crafts at my job and I would like some good arts and crafts books to use. I work with k- 8th so I need books with easy crafts that has a good age range. Any suggestions?
Title - "The Best of Children's Art & Crafts"
This book is an enormous collection of activities for children, all designed to exercise busy fingers and stretch fertile minds.
Step by step instructions are designed to stimulate imagination and confidence assist with coordination, concentration and problem solving and to encourage experimentation. Good instructions with easy recipes and hints on cleaning up, excellent photos of real kids making these projects.
The projects themselves really range from fun, messy and sensory to the more complex creative projects. They involve printing, painting, construction and collage, weaving, and stitching.
This marvelous book will provide endless hours of fun-and none of it will cost a fortune. In fact, many projects can be made with recycled household materials. THE BEST OF CHILDREN'S ART & CRAFTS is an invaluable resource for parents, grandparents, and teachers of young children. You can find a wide variety of art and crafts for children of every age: bubble painting, tennis ball prints, tie-dyeing, wind socks, boats, papier mache animals, wind chimes and much more.
Each project has the age group it is suitable for – a great search tool. But the really good thing is that even the more difficult projects have different levels suitable for younger ones and the easy projects can be taken to higher levels if needed
It is well written, the directions are concise and the pictures are great. Every educator should own this book!
