Reviews

[Robyn Schultz (ladyrobyns) · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I probably won't do every project in this book, there are many, many great and simple ideas to be tried. My 8 year old son was so taken by one of the projects that we had to break out the watercolors at 10 o'clock this morning. Great book for adults and kids. Another books to add to my own library.
