Soap Carving For Children of All Ages

Soap Carving For Children of All Ages

Soap is an inexpensive and very desirable carving medium for children of all ages.   In this book, Dr. Suzuki describes and illustrates with color photographs how to make safe and simple wooden carving tools.  He demonstrates basic soap-carving techniques using several step-by-step examples from a simple heart to a more complex turtle. Dr. Suzuki integrates art and science into his instructions and combines them to produce a super learning experience for children (of all ages) who do learn to carve through his methods.

Soap Carving For Children of All Ages

When demonstrating carving techniques to school children, Howard Suzuki used bars of soap to demonstrate basic techniques on carving and sculpturing.   As a resuolt, demonstrations developed into hands-on experiences for his students.  Soap carving is a fantastic confidence-builder for novice wood carvers, and a challenge for carving veterans who would like to explore a new medium.
