Primary handwork

About this book

This book gathers and organizes various methods, suggestions, and experiences with creative concrete illustrative activities for elementary school children into one volume. These are easily adapted to any school, and tested in the real world. Activity is an essential factor in children's development, and handwork is an important phase. Children not only learn by doing, but come to know through trying to do, and often learning more from failure than from success. Any teacher who is willing to begin with what is at hand, and let the children do the best they can with it will find unexpected resources and greater opportunities at every hand.
