Young-at-Art: Try out a craft for the holidays
By Marcia Koth de Paredes
 The following directories and links suggest ways to enjoy the holiday season with your family, obtain information about your special craft interests and learn about new possibilities to explore your artistic talents. The directories give you links by dozens of crafts, the links for children give ideas for school or home projects, the national craft organizations serve as portals to other pages that teach or describe national craft activities. Finally, I include a few ways to obtain information about Peruvian handicrafts: types, areas of Peru where a craft is emphasized, and a couple of ways to buy and sell.
