Great Introduction to Crafts

This book has fun and creative craft projects for kids. There are step-by-step, easy to follow directions with pictures at every step. Rather than having photos, all the pictures are drawn with what looks like colored pencils. I think the best project is the Japanese Doll Bookmark, but examples of some other projects are how to make a paper butterfly, how to make a box out of a card, a glow lamp out of a jar and paper, and shadow puppets. The only potential drawback to the book is that the projects are mostly geared for girls. However, overall, I think it is a great book for kids.
