From School Library Journal:

Gr 3-8-These crafts have easy-to-follow instructions and use materials found around the house or at a craft store. Projects such as cuddly stuffed sock monsters (Fabric), pinecone hedgehogs (Nature), accordion butterflies (Paper), and handprint animals (Paint) offer an impressive range of simple creative techniques while producing amusing decorative items Clear photographs provide reasonably complete documentation of each process, but some kids will wish for more detailed descriptions. For example, in Fabric, diagrams would be more effective to demonstrate braiding or weaving than photographs. A super-bright design palette and great-looking finished projects give this series shelf appeal. Most kids will be able to achieve attractive results, no matter their level of artistic talent. Some of these crafts could be considered curriculum-adjacent, making them solid choices for rainy-day class projects. α(c) Copyright 2011.
