This review is from: Hand Art (Chicken Socks) (Spiral-bound)

My 4 year old son won this from a contest at the local library. He LOVES this book. It kept him busy for hours, and wants to use it all the time. You look at the picture of a butterfly or bat or turkey and take paper and put your hand down with fingers either open or a couple closed and a few open, or two hands in a different position and trace with the crayons provided or a pencil from home. It's self explanatory. You need to help with tracing depending on the age of the child or depending on if you are using two hands for the design. Then you have the child color and then glue (we used our own but it comes with glue) the pom poms on as a nose or tail or something. There are googly eyes to glue on also. The end result is a really cool picture. My son did like 10 on the first day he had it. This is good for girls and boys. For $10, it's great. We are buying one today for a toy drive and I would buy for a gift. Once you have, you only need to purchase extra pom poms and googly eyes, or substitute with other items for tails, noses, etc. from craft store or craft supplies at home. I have three boys 14, 9, 4 and a girl 12. This is one of those things that after 14 years old having children that you find is just classic. The 9 year old loved doing this too with the 4 year old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun for many ages!, March 2, 2007

This review is from: Hand Art (Chicken Socks) (Spiral-bound)

We love this book. It has 20 different animals/aliens/bugs you can draw all from tracing your hand a certain way. The instructions are helpful and you can easily restock the supplies. All you need is some pompoms and googly eyes, though you can just draw those in if you'd prefer. My 5 year old can do these by herself and my 3 year old needs help. But I think it's fun, they do as well, and for kids who love to draw and/or do crafts, this is a great book to have!

My three year old and I could make these animals together all day long. It is fun for me and her. I think my older nephews and nieces would also enjoy this. It's a good buy. Get some extra eyes and pom poms and the book will last you ages.
