Kids love to make their own toys and games, gifts and ornaments. It encourages them to give full rein to their creative flair and if they can use component parts that are adapted or recycled, so much the better for them and the planet! None of the projects in this book use any special materials. Instead, they all rely on ingredients that you are likely to have in the cupboard or items that can be found around the house or garden, or out on walks in the park or at the beach. Recipes for salt dough are included, and methods for easy felting, together with step-by-step instructions on what to make, such as pretend sweets, boxes and masks. Old gift wrapping paper, old clothes and odd buttons and beads can all be used in an imaginative way, as can pine cones, tree bark, shells and other fascinating natural bits and bobs. Gifts for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends are here, together with games and toys that can be made and then played with again and again. From painted stones and a friendship bracelet to a simple dolls house and a driftwood boat, children will love the projects in this engaging book. In fact, kids need never be bored again.

We bought this book for our fantastic Grandaughter straight after seeing the preview pages on Amazon.
She is delighted with it, ahem - not her words at her age - but you get the picture :o) This is a very good book for creativity & artisticly orientated children. The idea's are safe, fun, easy to prepare for & educational.
There, said it all - at that price it's little more than the cost of a hobby magazine - buy it now.

Pretty pictures and cute ideas. The projects are fun and mostly aimed at older children but I can see a few bits to do, even with my 4 year old. And you wouldn't mind the finished pieces appearing in your home!

This book was just what I was looking for for my Brownie unit. We are always looking for new ideas and the cover drew me in! I have managed the salt dough so far, but we are planning to use the book in the Summer term to play outdoors where the girls can make as much mess as they like.
