Wood whittling is one of the most loved activities in our books. Whis is not surpirsing because it's so satisfying and theraputic to peel the bark off a stick and completely transform a piece of wood. This is an activity from our book, Wild Imagination, however there are whittling projects in each of our Nature Craft Series books.
