My 6 year old loves arts and crafts and I am the least crafty person I know so I have several arts and crafts books to help me. This is the best one we own. The projects are simple and easy - my 6 year old can usually do them by herself and most just need stuff we already have around the house. Other books we own have "cooler", bigger projects but they often require a trip to store to get materials we don't have and usually require my help which we often don't have the time for. This is the one book my daughter can just pick-up and do projects on her own or with friends. My daugher says "this one is the best" and I agree.

I love this book. It is organized by the main material needed. All the crafts can be done by both my 5 and 7 year old, and they love the end product. This book also offers other suggestions at the end of each set of craft directions for possible alternative crafts. This is not rocket science, it's just quick and dirty crafting for those kids who are bored and love making things. I'm so glad I got it before summer vacation. PS. If you have some craft supplies around your house on a normal basis,(paint, pipe cleaners, beads, foam, felt), you won't need to go buy a bunch of specialty items to complete these crafts.

This is a really fun book, I have made almost every craft in the book! I also love a brand new DVD I just got called Crafty Fun, It helps me when I see someone else do it! I recommend both of these.

I love this book! I have many general craft books but this one is my favorite primarily because it is much more organized. The beginning of the book has a list of different craft supplies and various book pages in which those supplies are used. Instead of having to flip through a book and hunt down crafts that use buttons, I can just look at the contents and see pages 30-33 use them. The crafts are all very easy and don't require a lot of supplies.

We only tried a couple of crafts so far but all the projects seem easy and fun to do. Can't wait for my daughter to get older and more into craft. I am sure we will be using this book a lot.

My 6-year-old daughter is obsessed with crafts! She has had this book for about 2 years and has done all the crafts in the book several times. I am just now looking for a new craft book for her, but I'm sure it won't replace this one.

Great book slam-packed with tons of great projects. The only down-side is that there aren't completed pics of projects (there are mainly just drawings of completed projects). However, the directions are so clear that you don't have to have a picture of it to create masterpieces. Highly recommended for parents, homeschoolers, or elementary art teachers.

This is *the* essential guide for kids' crafts. Buy this one and you won't need any others.

Quite pleased with book- At first I was expecting glossy pages, but realistically this book has so many fun stuff to do- There is no end to the stuff we can attempt to do from this book- It gave many different ideas and are all fun for my daughter to do by herself or with her cousins- It really takes the boredom away from the winter period- and it's fun when having a playdate with family/friends- Quite pleased!

I just got a couple of days ago and flipped through tonight. It is the best of its kind! Instructions and illustrations well laid out and easy to follow. Fabulous ideas. All very do-able yet not primitive. And the materials!) Love it!
