Reviews
The project directions, tips, and supplies are clear and precise, with line drawings to suggest the idea behind the project without being prescriptive, encouraging creativity without focusing on results. All in all, this seems like a solid all-in-one resource, like all your salt dough recipes in one place, sparing your iPhone from floury fingerprints as you check the recipe for the fifth time. With a little preparation and a good sense of humor, this could be a book to involve kids and parents in some memorable crafts and experiences. --Axie Barclay Kids Book Buzz (5/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)
