Editorial Reviews

When it comes to kids and holidays, suggested offerings of activities can be overly twee, but this book offers creative and straightforward craft projects and baking recipes to celebrate Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa and the fall/winter seasons. Most of the activities are more appropriate for advanced age four and up and always with parental supervision (as noted in the introduction). The crafts are simple enough that, with appropriate setup, they should take little time to accomplish. The photography, designed to appeal to kids, makes it easy for them to pick out projects they want to do. A fun book for families; many of the crafts included would also be appropriate for library-sponsored crafting programs.
