This review is from: Glues Brews and Goos (Paperback)

Too many recipies to ever list...non-newtonian fluids?? They're in there! Honestly, there is a recipe for every craft need I could think of...and many more. The best thing is that there are some many versions of each recipes. If you don't have ingredients for one, there several versions. Don't stay home without it!

This review is from: Glues Brews and Goos (Paperback)

I checked this book out of the library last month and could not believe all of the various recipes it had for so many different art activities. Page upon page of dough recipes, salt mapping, food recipes, and all the goos that a child would love. I am a preschool teacher for 4 and 5 year olds and I found this book a wonderful way to add to my daily curriculum. Child-care providers should really check this book out.
