In the first chapter, they can have a go at crocheting accessories from an owl beanie hat to quick hair bows and a chunky book bag.

Next, there are lots of ideas to help kids personalise their bedrooms, with projects including a craft basket, a roses garland and a daisy mirror.

Finally, children can choose from toys such as colourful baby chicks, a sweet lion and simple juggling balls.

As well as a skill rating, each project features step-by-step instructions and colourful illustrations that are specially designed for children to follow.
