Hey, Kids! Come Craft with ME

Amazon.com Review Mary Engelbreit's whimsical and brightly colored style is a natural for kid-oriented crafts. Geared to 6- to 14-year-olds, this delightful book opens with a pep talk encouraging her young fans to carve out a little workspace for themselves and get creative. Kids can decorate their rooms, their stuff, and themselves with these cute and clever ideas, making fun accessories, wild dress-up clothes, funky gifts and stationery, bedroom-brightening organizers, scrapbooks, and lots more. Most of the projects require only minimal adult involvement, if any, and the supplies are generally basic craft-store items. So that no mistakes stand in the way, the "Oh No" suggestion boxes explain how to cope with boo-boos like splotched paint on the wrong part of the project. And for the crafty child who likes a challenge, the "Miss Smarty" boxes offer options to take the project in new directions. Engelbreit may even inspire some budding artists to make drawing and crafting an integral part of their lives.
