5.0 out of 5 stars Fantabulous!, March 23, 2001

By	Melissa S. "HalloweenGeek" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

My 12-year-old goddaughter loved this book! She's very "into" art and I think she'll have hours of fun with it. Personally, I was impressed by the whole "color outside the lines" mentality inherent in this book...participants (you can't just *read* this book) are encouraged to open it at random or flip through until someting appeals to them, rip out pages, draw, paint, etc. I may just get my own copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Klutz books I've ever owned, September 2, 2001

By	"[e-mail]" (philadelphia, MS United States) - See all my reviews

This has to be one of the best Klutz books ever. It contains wild hands on art that let your creativity soar. It includes just about everything you need to get started. The art of this book goes from painting to stained glass to embossing (the included) copper. This book is a wonderful choice for any child (or even an artistic adult)

5.0 out of 5 stars big hit with my kids!, October 13, 2004

By	Anthony S. Zorn (San Salvador, El Salvador) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was a huge hit with my two daughters, ages 6 and 8. They passed many hours going through every project/exercise in the book. Later they devised ways to create their own projects based on ideas form the book. We also discovered which crafts the kids wanted to follow up on, we have ordered materials for metal foil embossing, etc. based on our experiences with this introductory book. I recommend this book highly, your kids WILL enjoy it!
