This book has a great mix of easier activities that many children will be able to do independently and activities to be done with an adult. The range of activities is great too - toiletries, games and toys, gifts, party preparation ideas and things to just enjoy making. This books would make a lovely gift for any child who would like to try activities with a bit more of a purpose.

This is a pretty standard book of craft projects for kids. Most of them are pretty typical ones that most parents and child care workers are familiar with, and many require you to purchase items to make them (bath bomb molds, leather bracelets, fusible bonding, etc.). Typical projects are painting a yoga mat with acrylic paints, making a donation jar for change, making a t-shirt tote and dip dyeing a canvas bag. There were only a few projects that I made a note to try with my kids (such as fleece hand warmers filled with rice and the t-shirt tote, which we've done before but it reminded me to do again) but parents or teachers who are new to crafting are likely to find some good inspiration.

Many of the crafts reminded me more of ones you'd do at camp than just rainy afternoon crafts, especially as so many of them needed purchased materials. That said, there are detailed instructions and lots of color photos, and I think it's a book that will work for a lot of folks.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.
