Marg Shouldice knows lots of ways to keep her daughters busy â€" 101 ways to be exact. Her book, 101 Krafts for Kids, provides instrucâ€" children of all ages busy. ‘"They just love to make crafts," said Shouldice referring to her daughters, Kan,§ and Heather, 4. "It keeps them busy for The book has been out for four weeks and 350 copies have been sold, Shouldice said, to primary and Sunday school teachers, Brownie Leaders, babysitters, and various area stores, including Pot Pourri, Words Worth Books, W.H. Smith, Leisure World and StoryTeller. Shouldice said she would like the books to be sold across Canada and become a bestâ€"seller, but failing that, would be happy if the book provided enough of an income so she wouldn‘t have to return to the children.

Shouldice will be demonstrating her crafts and book at The Bay for Charity Bear Day. She said she had been approached by Eaton‘s in Westmount Place to do a demonstration, and Nov. 9 she will be on Betty Thompson‘s Morning Magazine. Shouldice said she would be happy to do another book but "it‘s in the back of my mind". 101 Krafts for Kids sells for $6.95 and Shouldice said it will last for years in any home because the craftsâ€"are not specifically for any one age group. The need to accomplish something was the ‘biggest reason" Shouldice wrote the book. She said staying at home was a little hard on her selfâ€"worth. "Children don‘t necessarily appreciate what you do for them. You can cook a good meal and they‘ll say Yuk" Shouldice said.
