Our Review

This comprehensive guide serves as an essential roadmap through the vast landscape of children's craft books published since 1991, offering parents and educators a practical tool for locating specific project instructions. The dual indexing system—organized both alphabetically by craft project and by material type—makes it remarkably easy to find exactly what you need, whether searching for "paper plate masks" or "clay sculptures." This reference work transforms overwhelming craft book collections into manageable, searchable resources for creative activities.

What sets this index apart is its thoughtful organization that anticipates how adults actually search for children's crafts—by either the final project vision or the materials available. Parents facing a rainy afternoon will appreciate quickly finding all projects using common household items like paper bags or cardboard tubes, while educators planning curriculum units can efficiently locate seasonal or thematic crafts. This resource eliminates the frustration of flipping through multiple craft books, making creative time with children more accessible and less preparation-intensive for busy adults.
