5.0 out of 5 stars I really liked this book!, June 14, 2000
By A Customer
I spend every Saturday with my 3 nephews. One is 6, the others are two 3-year old twins. This book has saved my life! So many times the kids have been over and I haven't had any idea of how to keep them occupied! Since about January of this year, I've been using "200 Instant Crafts" as an instant sources of great craft ideas. The best part is how inexpensive the crafts are to make. I really do have most of the stuff around the house. The guidelines that tell me for what age the craft is appropriate have been an immense help to me. I had no idea what a 3 year old could and couldn't do as opposed to the 6 year old. Using these guidelines keeps me from asking the kids to do something they aren't ready to do. I'll be using this book all Summer! Thanks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Child's Play: 200 Instant Crafts and Activities for Preschoo, June 23, 2000
In this age of videos, TV and the never-ending search for faster and flashier entertainment, what a pleasure to find a book with good, easy and basic ideas for children's crafts. Simple yet timeless ideas that have helped this grandmother enjoy many a rainy afternoon with her grandkids. I remember making some of the projects when I was a kid!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for babysitting, June 17, 2000
By Sarah in CO (Colorado) - See all my reviews
I have used this book and the others in the "Child's Play" series for years with lots of preschool and elementary school-aged kids. It is particularly great for babysitters because all the activities can be done using materials everyone has around the house, so you can just scrounge in the kitchen and office for paper, egg cartons, crayons, and other odds and ends for and end up with really cool finished product. Kids love it, and the activities are easy to do and easy to clean up after. Plus the illustrations are cute and funny.
