Make and Takes Book Review!!!

Exciting News! There is a new kid's craft book on the market!  Marie LeBaron from Make and Takes blog has a wonderful new book: Make and Takes For Kids: 50 crafts throughout the year that you have got to take a gander at!!!  If you Love her blog,  you'll Love the book too!  If you love having a short concise book with crafts organized by month this is the book for you.  It is a very attractive colorful book with great pictures and instructions.

First hand, I know it is appealing to kids because my daughter Cassie had a wonderful time reviewing the book and told me already the things she would like to make! (She said she liked EVERYTHING!)


 Look at her excitement and focus! 


Here are some of the ideas we have tried from the book:

APPLE STAMP PAPER BOUQUET

WATERCOLOR COFFEE FILTER UMBRELLA

BEADED PIPE CLEANER FLOWERS

FOAM HEART FRIENDSHIP BRACELET

And so many more ideas to try....

I am an arts and crafts book connosieur and I know Make and Takes for Kids  would make a great gift for teachers, parents, and grandparents.  If you are looking to spend quality time with children this book will help you do that! You can purchase Make and Takes for Kids at Barnes and Noble,  Amazon.com, Walmart.com , and Wiley.com
The publisher of this book: Wiley, has a great crafts page too:
