Emma Memma craft book by Emma Memma

Former Wiggle, Emma Watkins, has created a new character Emma Memma. With a focus on communication with dancing, singing, crafting and continuing her advocacy for sign language, her new range of children’s activities are sure to appeal to many preschool and early years students.

The Emma Memma Craft Book has an appealing cover in orange tones, the trademark colour of Emma Memma. Inside there are quite a range of activities including an accordion-fold flutter and fly butterflies, paper-plate Waffles the wombat, rainbow collage, butterfly clips and a whirling wheel. In the middle of the book in thicker cardboard is Elvin Melvin’s flying green plane.

Each activity has a simple introduction and there is a bubble telling the reader what materials and items they need. The instructions are set out in easy to follow steps. On many of the pages are love hearts with reminders, including one on the page where Emma Memma and friends can be cut out to make figurines. On the back of this page are very interesting fun facts about goats, wombats and butterflies.

There are some creative and fun crafts to make in this book and all will need an adult or older child to explain and assist.

Themes: Craft, Drawing, Creating, Cutting.
