5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book! A Great collection of Projects for Children, April 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Yankee Workshop Kids' Stuff (Paperback)
This book is aptly named and is loaded with "Kids' Stuff". Projects include a cradle, toy chest, a block wagon, and a 1/16" scale model of the New Yankee Workshop, and more! I just got this book yesterday and will be getting started this weekend on the marble roll which I know my 2 year old will just Love! If you have a child or know one you want to make really happy get this book and get to work!

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice collection, September 26, 2000
By 
This review is from: The New Yankee Workshop Kids' Stuff (Paperback)
This book presents a very nice collection of Norm Abram's kid-related projects, and the text and photos are a great help to actually building any of the projects. Having built the cradle project, though, I'd certainly recommend purchasing the set of plans that goes with each project . The plans are indespensible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beyond me, but wonderful, January 27, 2004
By 
Ellis Godard (Moorpark, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Yankee Workshop Kids' Stuff (Paperback)
I received this as a gift, and I'm simply not equipped to produce any of the six pieces included. I don't have the tools, or the time, and the previous reviewer is correct that - if I *did* have the tools and time - I'd probably want to buy the plans for the projects.

That said, if *you* have the tools and time, and particularly if you're crafty and know what you're doing with wood and tools, there are six fantastic projects here that would suit a wide range of ages, something to keep you (and, then, your child) busy through various stages of their development.
