Customer Reviews

This book is misnamed.

As a project book this appeals, however, the offerings in the first two age brackets can hardly be called carving, decorating/shaping maybe, carving no. I was very disappointed in the content. It was not what the title & subtitle led me to expect.

Carving For Kids: An Introduction to Woodcarving

This book is very informative, full of ideas to get one started into woodcarving. I'm 56 and I benefited greatly from the information to this hobby, that is new to me.

Excellent book for the beginners. My 8 and 9 year olds loved it. This is a must have book for kids.

Good whitttling guide for kids.

Purchased to accompany a Christmas gift of a small pocket knife for a six-year old grandson who expressed an interest in whittling, Carving for Kids is written at the appropriate level, well illustrated and includes a suitable range of projects from simple to challenging. He immediately selected a project and went right to work on it.
