I bought this book on a whim -- I wanted a quiet indoor activity that my 7 year old niece and my mom could do together. My niece absolutely LOVED this book. She was old enough to know how to read, and young enough to enjoy doing little crafty projects -- I think that's a key combination to how much a child will like this book. She could figure out the directions herself, and she and my mom spent a few hours making the projects in the book. Later, she reused some of the pipe cleaners to make up her own projects.

All in all, this book kept her occupied for several hours over the weekend. I expect that she's still having fun with it -- we bought her a stack of pipe cleaners from the local craft store.

I HIGHLY recommend this book -- it's not messy or noisy, kids like it, they can follow the book or use their imaginations, they can do the projects independently or in a small playgroup, and buying more pipe cleaners is very inexpensive -- a few dollars gets you several packets. I bet it would be a great activity for kids taking long car trips, or for rainy-day fun.

My _ONLY_ critique of this book is that they should give enough pipe cleaners for TWO of each project, instead of for just one. That way, if a child wants to play with another person, each one can make the same item. The cost of doing so should be quite small, as the the pipe cleaners are really cheap, but even if it raised the book cost by another dollar or two, it would be worth it!

I bought this book for my son,who just turned 8. He had wanted to make animals out of pipe cleaners, they had done this at school. He really liked this book. I liked it because it comes with enough pipe cleaners to make everything in the book. It really does! The pictures are step by step and really clear. We had a lot of fun with this book.

I READ THIS BOOK AND THOUGHT IT WAS VERY CREATIVE. I ESPECIALLY LIKED IT BECAUSE IT CAME WITH ALL THE MATERIALS.THE DIRECTIONS WERE ACCURATE AND EASY TO FOLLOW.OVERALL IT WAS FUN,CREATIVE,AND EXCITING. A GREAT RAINY OR SNOWY DAY BOOK.

Not stupid or childish. The best pipe cleaner craft book I've been able to find. Projects were eagerly tried and many time recreated. More then sunglasses and jewerly. The book you want if you're looking for pipe cleaner crafts!!

This book is absolutely excellent! I used it originally about 8 years ago, and I purchased it to use this summer with 3rd grade students at summer school. The kids had a great time...and I did too! A must have!

With this book and a large box of pipe cleaners my daughter and her cousins had hours of creative fun. I also used them backstage at a children's choir concert to keep the young ladies occupied while waiting to perform.

This is a really good craft book to use with young children. My grandchildren and I spend hours making pipe cleaner animals and people. Great fun at an affordable price!

My 9 yr old loves this. She's made some cute critters!
Wish it came with more pipe cleaners.

I purchased this product for my 9 year old daughter. She has truly enjoyed it. This was a great purchase. The price was reasonable for the product.

Fun book! My daughter received it as a gift and I also purchased it for my 6-year old nephew who likes to do arts & crafts. It comes with a package of pipe cleaners but I bought some additional packages so he could make lots of figures. Of course, everyone enjoys wrapping a pipe cleaner around a pencil to make a coil. Even I was doing it. My daughter made the penguin in the book and it still sits on her bedroom dresser. I am also a teacher and I plan on using this book for pipe cleaner projects in the classroom.
