I love this book, even though I have not made anything from it YET, I will be very soon!
This book is full of beautiful ideas for the the whole family to craft and make throughout the seasonal year. If you knit or sew a little as well it is even better, the instructions are simple and easy to follow. No need to buy any toys anymore, this book, as well as "Toymaking with Children", has everything you need for the first 8 to 9 years of a child's play life that you can make yourself.
I can only highly recommend it!

I'm so glad I finally purchased this book. I've been borrowing it from our school library for years. This is a must for any parent of especially younger children who wants to know how to make simple beautiful items for their child. There are loads of ideas and items for each season all made from natural materials requiring not much else other than the desire to create!

I wished there were some more Pictures and more colour... but the book is very interesting and usefull... very good for small Children but also fo bigger kids... My kids love it

I love how many craft ideas are in here! I must learn how to knit now, but I can't wait to do these projects with my children.

This book is simple, but chock full. There's no photographs to inspire, just lovely simple pen illustrations. Really back to basics type stuff, but so wonderful!
