My Thoughts
I like this book! The sheer variety of crafts available and the ease of use make this book a keeper in my eyes. Judy Ann Sadler did an excellent job of putting these crafts together, and Caroline Price’s illustrations brought it all very much to life. The only thing I would have liked would have been to see actual photographs of the finished craft.
Crafts that I want to do… button puppy! It’s too cute! Bead buddies intrigues me for a doll class I still want to teach. The Pom-pom bear would just be fun to give a try to, brings back memories of games I used to play with my lad.
I love this! This would be a fun book to bring out on a chilly or rainy day with my toddler. It’s always fun to find new things to do with the kids that doesn’t involve electronics!
it is a fun book! 🙂
Years ago I had a book called crafts a month. I used that book all the time. This would be great to have and use.
It’s a helpful book.
Aw, this looks like such a cute book. I always loved crafts growing up, and my nieces and nephew love them now.

maybe you can find it and introduce some new crafts to them.
Another good one with simple ideas. Looks like they use a lot of materials from around the house, which is a bonus!
yes they do. I don’t recall seeing any really odd things.
