Wonderful for Adults Too!

2008-10-02
I bought this book for myself as well as my kids. I wanted to learn how to knit, but any "teach yourself to knit" book I've ever seen is too complicated. What better way to learn than when instructions are simplified so even a child can understand! I can't wait to get started on some of the other crafts too. No dull handprint turkeys here - these ideas are exciting and ingenious!

We love this book!

My daughters, ages 9 & 12, were looking to replace Jane Bull's "Great Indoor Outdoor Book" which they had lost. This was the closest thing we could find. It is full of wonderful ideas and crafts, with step-by-step instructions. My eldest wanted to learn to knit, which she easily accomplished using the instructions within. We also did many weaving projects, made marble paper, paper boxes, and salt dough. There was enough to keep us engaged and busy for the summer. You can bet I'll get it back out when the vacation doldrums set in again!

Excellent resource

This is an excellent book to have in your arsenal of craft ideas. Any of the crafts are brightly illustrated and can be adapted for any class.

This is really the best craft book. My daughter loves to do crafts and she found things in here she just "had" to do...... It has some great ideas we will be turning into xmas gifts.

Lives up to its title

This book is full of creative, easy ideas for kids. Cotton fabric dolls, beginning cross-stitch, string art, weaving, knitting, string balls, pom-poms, sun dial (from a paper plate!), paper roses, boats (made from "trash" items), miniature campsite, miniature playhouse made out of a box (including accessories like lamp, chest of drawers,...), magic tricks, making masks, painting scary faces, dyeing fabric, decorations (parties, seasonal), making marble paper, and box-making are just a few topics in this incredible book. It's a must-have for any young crafter.

Birthday Gift

I bought this for my friend's daughter as a birthday present. She's one of those kids that takes everything she can get her hands on to make a craft out of it. We got her this book to give her some new inspiration. She loves it! Her mom says she's been consuming it and is grateful for the new ideas. It uses things that she has around the house and basic craft stuff. A great book for the craft lovers in your family.
