4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful but Abridged!, August 25, 2006

By	R Powell "economics educator" (Fairfax, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Though this activity book is just wonderful and full of great crafting and learning acitivities, it is an abridged version of the book we loved when we were kids. The book, organized around the 12 number-it-yourself calendar pages, includes seasonal connect the dots, a paper village to color and build, paperdolls, paper airplanes to fold, greeting cards, Valentines, and bookmarks. The Christmas activities are missing altogether.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kept us busy for days!, August 25, 2005

By	Synnabar "never stop learning!" (USA) - See all my reviews

When my sister, brother and I were little, my parents bought us this book. I'm so glad to see it again! Not only did it keep us busy for hours, it kept us busy for DAYS! We kept going back to it; there was so much to do! Plus, it was great for our different age ranges - there were coloring pages for younger children, and lots of things to cut out and put together for children old enough to use scissors and glue (or tape). Best of all, even after we'd done everything, we were inspired to adapt the projects in our own way - such as, design and make our own paper airplanes or notecards based on the projects in the book. Definitely a must-have! Wonderful illustrations, too. The only thing I'd recommend is buying one for each child!

5.0 out of 5 stars A winner!, March 18, 2005

By	exiledcal (USA) - See all my reviews

This was a great purchase for my 6-year-old son. With children, you really never know what is going to be a hit or a miss when you spend money on books and toys. I'm happy to report that this activity book was worth every penny, keeping my son busy and interested for hours on end.
