Editorial Reviews
Review
“I have a 3 year-old son and 6 year-old daughter, and I was able to find activities in this book that were appropriate for both of them. I also used it to suggest craft projects for kids to do during meeting with my mom’s group. These projects are nice because they don’t require a lot of preparation, they’re fairly mess-free and they don’t take a lot of time so they hold the kid’s attention.” – 2012 Mom’s Best Award Panel
“I love the ideas in this book! I help with my daughter’s Daisy Scout troop, and we were able to find simple, yet creative ideas for the girls such as the cup photo holder. We can’t wait to do the ‘Come Cook with Me Jar’ for Mother’s Day. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for fun and easy activities to do with a a group of kids.” – 2012 Mom’s Best Award Panel
“This book is great for allowing children to make personalized gifts for mom, dad, teachers or anyone special. Most of the materials used to make these gifts are regular household items or things that would normally be thrown away, so it’s so inexpensive to do these projects and my kids enjoyed making gifts rather than going to the store and buying them. They were so proud of what they were able to do on their own. ” – 2012 Mom’s Best Award Panel
