This book is so outdated, it made me wince! I wish I had been able to skim it before I bought it. As a Girl Scout leader and a mom, I thought this book would come in handy. Wrong! After going through it cover to cover with my daughter, we only found a handful of activities that we half-heartedly thought we'd try. Poor percentage for a book that was originally titled "838 Ways to Amuse a Child." I have yet to use the book for any activities. Definitely a waste of my money.

Old Time Crafts and Such
Aug 8 2001
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book, copyright 1960, contains descriptions of crafts, hobbies, and science projects with black and white sketches. Projects are usually old time crafts such as mobiles, dioramas, butterfly nets, collections, and how-tos for construction paper crafts. Contains nice ideas that are inexpensive and hail a simpler time.

Timeless classic -- why isn't it still in print?

I grew up making things out of this book as a child (my mom had it leftover from her school teaching days). I ordered this used copy for my own, and I realized how classic and timeless the activities and crafts are. The ideas are terrific and use things commonly found at home -- which makes for a great frugal resource, too. Love this book!

A Treasury of Fun!
Jan 1 2009
By Karla Kearney
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
What a find! This book is a great source of ideas and tools for projects that the whole family can enjoy. Even though the ideas are geared toward 6-12 year olds (I have a 3 year old) some can be adapted for younger children. Homeschoolers especially would like this book for its educational slant (filled with projects related to science, nature, and art). Fun fun fun!
