I was looking for a book with many different ideas of craft projects to do with my five year old son. This book is it. There are so many ideas. The instructions are easy to follow, not too involved. Perfect for a short attention span (my child, not me) and atractive gifts (something grandmother will love). I have previously bought several different books on kid's crafts and this one would take the place of all. Keep in mind to that with a little imagine you can turns these projects into Valentine, Easter, fourth of July etc.. gifts. Good to know you can still get this book on Amazon.

I first checked this book out at the library. After re-checking it out, I decided I needed to have it so I went to Amazon and of course there it was. This is full of fun ideas for Christmas crafts and recipes, but you can also tweek things to make them useful for other times of the year also. I love just looking at the pictures and trying to figure out how to make an idea work for a school class as well as gifts for my family and friends. I would recommend this one to anyone who is into homemade items. Some of the ideas you can find on Familyfun.com, but it's always nice to have a book at hand to look for ideas too.

I bought this because I enjoy doing small project type crafts with my kids during the Christmas season. I was hoping to get a few ideas and I made a great decision with this book! It is full of great ideas, small, inexpensive projects. We did several projects from this book and we all had a great time making the crafts and sharing them with family and friends. We are planning to do more too! Colorful, illustrated, and plenty of helpful hints. Many great craft ideas. There are also some recipes that we are planning to try during Christmas as well. I definitely recommend this book for anyone! I'm very delighted with my purchase and will be using this book throughout the years and will pass it on to my kids when they have children. Great family time crafts!
