Many of the crafts reminded me more of ones you'd do at camp than just rainy afternoon crafts, especially as so many of them needed purchased materials. There were only a few projects that I made a note to try with my kids (such as fleece hand warmers filled with rice and the t-shirt tote, which we've done before but it reminded me to do again) but parents or teachers who are new to crafting are likely to find some good inspiration. Typical projects are painting a yoga mat with acrylic paints, making a donation jar for change, making a t-shirt tote and dip dyeing a canvas bag. Most of them are pretty typical ones that most parents and child care workers are familiar with, and many require you to purchase items to make them (bath bomb molds, leather bracelets, fusible bonding, etc.). This is a pretty standard book of craft projects for kids. Gain firsthand knowledge on your favorite topic with Lab for Kids.
