Editorial Reviews

Review

"...Doing these crafts themselves give kids a self-confidence boost...It uses simple materials that I always have on hand." -- Betsy C., New Orleans, LA

About the Author

I originally created this book for our local Preschool Mothers Club when my children were preschoolers. The moms in the club were having a hard time finding truly simple crafts that were easy enough for their little ones to complete during playgroup time. There are a lot of children's craft books available, but most are too complicated for 3 to 6 year olds, and it would end up with the MOM doing the craft during playgroup! ALL the crafts in my book are EASY, so the child will feel a sense of accomplishment.

Karen Gurnik grew up near the Jersey Shore. She currently lives in Slidell, Louisiana with her husband and children. This is her first book.
