Creative Adventures in Cursive: Write with glue, string, markers, paint, and icing!

<DIV><B>Writing is cooler in cursive, and <I>Creative Adventures in Cursive</I> gives kids ideas for practicing writing skills, then guides them into cursive creativity.</B><BR /><BR /> As many educators will attest, writing in cursive provides cognitive benefits in spelling, memory, reading comprehension, language skills, and overall academic confidence. Practicing cursive carries similar benefits when drawing; once you learn the basic shapes, you can play with it by creating your own personal style.<BR /><BR /> In <I>Creative Adventures in Cursive</I>, noted author Rachelle Doorley, the creative force behind Tinkerlab, shows twenty-two fun and colorful ways to use script to make posters, present school projects, design monograms, create greeting cards, decorate book bags and t-shirts, ice cookies and cakes—writing in script with everything, including fabric markers, pastry tubes, string and yarn, and of course brushes, pens, and crayons.</DIV>
