I bought this after seeing one of the crafts from the book featured on a blog and then reading the positive reviews on Amazon.
I'm a little dissapointed, the book is just okay. The crafts just don't seem original or all that crafty....for example painting canvas sneakers, friendship bracelets with embroidery thread, tie dye (with little direction, if any on what type of dye to purchase), painting plates, using pushpins to decorate pillar candles... just not what I was hoping for.
Three stars for the nice layout and pictures and hope that these will be crafts my daughters will take pride in doing on their own when they're older, maybe in the tween years.

This is a well-done craft book with many novel, as well as some resurrected, craft ideas for beginners and advanced crafters.

I bought this book as a gift for my granddaughters. Their Girl Scout troop has put the book to good use for projects. Great craft book for kids.

As a mom to 3 girls who love crafts as well as a Girl Scout Leader I am pretty well versed in the fine art of crafting. We've made several of the crafts in this book and just weren't impressed with the finished product. I understand that the pictures were all staged but we've been pretty disappointed with the results. The ideas are great and we'll continue to use the book as a springboard for our own projects.

I am just an average mom who does not have one crafty bone in my body!
This book is well written, easy to follow and has great ideas! We spent a rainy afternoon doing craft after craft out of this book and never got bored!
My daughter is a little over 2 years old and typically gets bored after a few minutes. She took delight in seeing her "creations"!
Some of these crafts can be done with things that most of us have on hand too! (Flour and Salt!) No need to go purchase specific items to do a craft!
Simple crafts that can turn into great gifts for family and friends!
Great book!
