This review is from: Fairy World Crafts (Girl Crafts) (Paperback)

I got this activity and crafts book for my little cousin who is [...]. She loves fairies, arts and crafts. I thought this book would be a perfect match for her age and artistic talent. It has over 20 ideas of easy DIY things she can do with really cheap items like bath scrubbies you can buy at Wal Mart for 99 cents and items found around the house and outdoors. I only hope she can build up her creativity with the use of this book as she grows up. I also wish that I had this book when I was young, too.
