Product Description
Garden Crafts for Children is crammed full of inspirational ideas to get kids excited about gardening and nature. A wheelbarrow vegetable garden, cress caterpillars, an insect hotel and a sunflower alley are just some of the fun and creative ideas in this invaluable book. There are chapters on using creative containers from teapots to rain boots, windowsill gardening with foods such as cress and beans, and beautiful nature crafts such as picture frames and mobiles that can be made indoors. Whether your garden is big or small, and even if you don t have a garden at all, Dawn Isaac s wonderful garden crafts will keep kids entertained, with plenty of projects to fill every season. The 35 projects, perfect for children from ages 3 to 11, are designed to be achievable and affordable with simple-to-follow, step-by-step photographs and clear advice, and there is help on growing and gardening for children and adults alike.

I find that craft books for kids can be a bit of a letdown, there are often the same activities in all of them, and generally there are a handful of achievable ones followed by a raft of tricky or grown-up ideas with expensive kit that you would never actually get round to. Gardening books for kids can be even worse. This book is a refreshing change. I can see my kids doing every single idea in this book, and they have picked out the ones to start with already. I like that there are some indoor activities for rainy days and people with no real garden, and I agree with a previous review that lots of them are suitable for school gardening clubs, because they are quite short to do, and easy to supervise several children doing them at once. A good buy as we will definitely get our money's worth out of it.

Some craft books can make your heart sink - you have to be an alpha-mum goddess with a PhD in engineering to keep up.
Not this one - it's utterly charming, easy-going, well set out and full of things that I will actually really do with my kids (well, as soon as the snow melts..)
The Lawn Names idea in particular is brilliant.
I've just stockpiled a few copies for future kids' birthday gifts!

I ordered this book for my hard to buy for Goddaughters.
They are interested in gardening and crafts and this book has plenty of fun project ideas - from the very simple to the more complex - so suitable for a wide range of ages, working alone or with guidance from an adult. The book is colourful and very well written - with good instructions and great looking pictures. Importantly, most of the projects seem to use inexpensive and easy to find materials and require little gardening or craft experience - just plenty of imagination.
I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of my Goddaughters' efforts - they can come and plant a rainbow cutting garden at my house any time!

Simple projects for children to follow
Many of the activities in this book appear in similar guises in other books. However, the large colourful pictures and informal writing style make this book inviting and engaging.
