Have you ever heard the phrase, "I'm so bored. What can I do?" If so, this book will be a lifesaver. This book can be pulled out on a rainy day for inspiration and ideas. With fifty simple projects for kids to do, the creative possibilities are endless. Each project has two dedicated pages, one that shows the finished object, and the second that shows six simple steps for creating the project. The step-by-step directions are accompanied by pictures. Most of the projects can be created with minimal preparation and materials. Projects include flag garlands, cress shapes (made from growing alfalfa seeds), magic tricks, cards, painted animals, and collages. The difference between this book and other kids' craft books is the simplicity. Both the directions and the projects are fairly simple in nature. Young children will be able to participate along with their older siblings to create the same projects. Reviewer: Nicole Peterson Davis
