  • From the first page!
From the first page, it’s huge fun. I really love this book! I found it in the library, n my son draw awesome pictures. I wonder where he learned and he told me to buy this book. Every single time when we get bored, we open this book now. I strongly recommend this book for more than 6 year old kids.

This book was loaded with fun things to do. I ordered a copy for myself to use with my granddaughter but when she saw it she asked if she could take it home so I ordered another copy for my house to use when she's here! The projects range from simple to more time consuming so it has a nice variety of options. Very happy with the purchase(s)! ... show more
