The book is crammed full of fun and exciting craft projects that are simple enough for your kids to do, while being engaging enough for grown-ups to enjoy, making this a must-buy for school holidays. Some of the best projects include instructions for sewing a tutu, a pattern for knitted critters and a recipe for play dough.
