Super cute book for children about arts and crafts. Colorful pictures with lots of ideas makes this a perfect book for parents, teachers, and even librarians. I enjoyed the recipes for the creative things such as squishy fun play dough, and seeing how to decorate it with various items. This book is loaded with activities and fun.

I absolutely adored this book! It is jam-packed with a huge variety of creative ideas to encourage children to explore, create, make and to find their creative voice! The activities are far-reaching, the photos are inspiring, the instructions are clear and accessible, and the ideas are plentiful. This is a truly and fabulously creative book and I would highly recommend it.

Some classic ideas, like bumpy bubble pictures and paint-blob animals, mixed with some exciting new ideas to try, like freeze drawing game and magic drawing cars.

The note to the adults at the beginning about the process being more important than the result was great as so often we're left with unidentifiable blobs, but we've, mostly, had fun.

The only thing I would note is that not all items needed (like clay & wooden blocks) are those we have to hand so some projects would need a little advanced planning.
