This charming book is perfect for young kids who can't wait to get crafty. Let them practice and refine their motor control skills by cutting out or tearing out pictures to stick in place. Pages are made from three kinds of paper: stiff paper to glue things onto, thin paper that's easy to cut - even with kids' safety scissors - and extra-thin paper that's designed to be torn by little fingers. 16 simple scenes show a variety of friendly animals, plants and people ready to be decorated, using 8 pages of pictures and textures to cut out, and another 8 pages of pictures to tear out. This book does not come with scissors or glue, but does include clear instructions to explain how to cut, tear and stick the different kinds of paper.
Matthew writes books for Usborne about all sorts of subjects, including history, science and Planet Earth. Before he did this, he studied English at university and worked for the BBC where he made funny radio programmes. In his spare time he likes to ride his bike, visit all kinds of museums and read on his sofa as much as possible.
