Finally a crafts book geared to boys (and girls). My son loves space flight, planets and aliens. This book provides tips for crafts in all three areas. This is the first crafts book I found, for young children, that is geared towards girls and boys. The crafts are easy to do and use common household items.

I am looking for easy outer space crafts to do with about 100 kids, ages 5-12. This book has a lot of great ideas that I will probably embellish upon for my kids, but the basic ideas are really good.

I love this craft series! I bought this book awhile ago, and gathered all the stuff I would need to make all the projects. Then I presented the entire package to my son as a surprise. We have just recently had the time to actually do the projects. My kids love them, and are not satisfied doing just one project. We plan to do almost every project in the book.

I love that the projects are easy enough for my 6 year old and my 4 year old. They projects look good when completed and the projects actually teach them something about space. Great combination!
