From School Library Journal:

Gr 2-6-Papier-mache bowls, cord-covered bottles, collage frames, and other objects that can be made from household items can all be found here. Sadler divides the crafts into categories: "Things for Your Room," "Things to Wear," "Gifts to Make," "Special Days," and "Old Time Crafts." Children looking for a challenge can try pressing flowers or the projects that involve sewing and embroidery. While many of the crafts are familiar, there are some new twists here-a rag garland wreath, a twig basket, and adjustable bookends created from a shoe box. Each activity begins with a "Things You Need" list that includes everything down to the plastic bag to protect the work surface. Directions and black-and-white illustrations are clear. Easy, fun, and inexpensive crafts that are sure to keep children entertained.-Marcia W. Posner, Holocaust Memorial and Educational Center of Nassau County, Glen Cove, NY
