Product Description

Product Description

When you learn to awaken your family’s creativity, wonderful things will happen: you’ll make meaningful connections with your children in large and small ways; your children will more often engage in their own creative discoveries; and your family will embrace new ways to relax, play, and grow together. With just the simple tools around you—your imagination, basic art supplies, household objects, and natural materials—you can transform your family life, and have so much more fun!

Amanda Soule has charmed many with her tales of creativity and parenting on her blog, SouleMama. Here she shares ideas and projects with the same warm tone and down-to-earth voice. Perfect for all families, the wide range of projects presented here offers ideas for imaginative play, art and crafts, nature explorations, and family celebrations.

This book embraces a whole new way of living that will engage your children’s imagination, celebrate their achievements, and help you to express love and gratitude for each other as a family.

Excellent! 21 April 2008
Format:Paperback
I honestly love this book. I have just about put it down since it has arrived and have been quoting it to everyone I come across! I've been inspired to look at the way my children play in a new way and to look at them for ideas for various projects I'm involved in! Excellent book much anticipated and it hasn't disappointed! Love it!

This book is really inspiring. There are so many ideas of what to do to make you and your kids be so much more creative and shows you how to think about activities in a new light. It is really thought provoking just like Amanda's blog. This should be a must on every parents book list as it shows you that expensive battery driven toys, computer games and television aren't the only things to keep your kids amused there are other ways and along the way you may become more creative yourself.

A must read and a great gift to give other parents.

Brings together all of the things which I love - family, crafting, homemaking, cooking, planting, thrifting etc etc. Never found someone who incorporates into their life all those aspects to which I aspire! Fabulously inspirational - and projects all shown with instructions. My 3 year old has already done some sewing and I've changed the layout in my family room to incorporate a space to get my sewing machine out permanently!

A gloating mothers outlet
This book is so terribly patronising and quite frankly just an outlet for the author to gloat about how amazing she thinks she is at motherhood! Read more
