    • Fun ideas for kids
Very interesting and fun collection of things to do. Would recommend for kids who want to be kept busy. You may need to get some materials you might not have a t home but it's worth it!

    • Full of fun projects
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

    • Great book to keep around the house when you have kids saying they're bored
So I purchased this book during the summer prime day. I decided to make a challenge for my kids to pick an activity that they all had to do. My wife and I were the judges. The wining activity would get a surprise. This encouraged them to work together and have some fun in the process.

    • Great book with great ideas
My wife bought this to find ideas of things to make or do with our 3 and 5 year-old boys. There are so many great projects, crafts, and activities with clear and detailed instructions. Most of the materials required are also not hard to find, as they're mostly the things that you already have at home. Some of the activities or projects might be a bit too advanced for our kids, but we look forward to doing them later as they grow up! Definitely would recommend this book for activities to do with your kids, grandchildren, or students, and could be great as a gift as well! ... show more

    • Great ideas
I absolutely love this book. There are so many ideas for my kids to keep them busy with creativity. I spent 30 mins just reading the pages and wanting to do the activities myself. I can't wait to get started with my kids.
