Editorial Reviews

Gr 3 Up—Everything is mini in this series, from the snacks and crafts to the origami and games. Titles open with a table of contents and introduction before delving into the projects (around 11 in each), a list of required materials, and a thorough rundown of crafting tips—including checking with an adult and reading through instructions before beginning. From Mini Bowling to Mini Pretzel Bun Hoagies, the instructions for each activity are straightforward and have labeled photos to go with each step. While some of the activities would require an adult for younger crafters, the activities are sure to be enjoyable whether done solo or with a group. One of the titles in the series focuses on a variety of mini holiday crafts (other than Christmas), such as making a mini ofrenda for Día de los Muertos. The back matter includes a read more section, internet sites, and an author bio. VERDICT A cute series of miniature activities; fun for a wide age range.
