Reviews

School Library Journal

“Twenty-nine crafts inspired by spring and holidays are shown on double-page spreads and illustrated with full-color drawings. The directions are framed by border paintings that relate to the projects. The crafts include pussy willows made from cotton swabs, a rather novel ‘Huffing and Puffing Mr. Wind Puppet,’ a giant paper-plate shamrock, a bird’s nest made from uncooked spaghetti, Passover candlesticks, an Easter bunny egg holder, and a spring-cleaning apron of paper towels. Some of the projects are easy enough to be done by kindergartners with adult help, while others could be completed by older children without too much supervision. If adult help is needed with cutting, etc., it is noted in the instructions.”
