Another dandy little book like Box Crafts. The ideas contained herein are simple. They are clearly explained by the author and are well illustrated by Gayle Harvey. Any child using easily obtained materials will be able to satisfy the creative urge and will be pleased with the result when he or she tries the various projects described in this book. The very titles on each page are intriguing and create a desire to try the idea described. Some of them are "Sandpaper Savvy," "Notched, Blotched and Scratched," "Hold Onto Your Roots," "Let Your Hearts Hang High," and "Show Your Shadow for Groundhog Day." As these titles demonstrate, there are special activities for Canadian holidays. Good index included. A grand book for kids, parents and teachers.
