SLJ Review of Adventurous Crafts for Kids
Activities and crafts to explore, connect, and experience nature safely can be found in this series. Each activity starts with a picture of the finished product and an explanation of the activity. Materials and step-by-step instructions are listed alongside labeled pictures. A general tip is sometimes given to an applicable craft, such as, “Take a look at premade dried meals at a grocery store to get ideas for oth- er meals.” when preparing to go camping. The layout is simple and easy to read with contrasting text colors and clear examples. A table of contents starts each title, fol- lowed by a page that lists general supplies, tips, and safety precautions. End matter includes additional reading materials that can be found online or in books, and a sec- tion about the author or authors. Although some of the materials needed for each proj- ect may be expensive or hard to find if not prepared in advance, such as compost for “Pollinator Flower Seed Bombs,” many of the items are supposed to be reused items that can be found around the house or school to reinforce respecting the environ- ment. VERDICT Fun crafts and activities to encourage creativity and support of the environment.
