It's such a cool and easy book to follow, and you don't have to be an artist to follow their simple instructions for creating professionally looking designs. I love that it comes with everything you need, like paints and a brush, which is typical of all Klutz books. Since Klutz books are geared towards kids, the photos and steps are clear and easy to understand.
The Klutz repertoire of books ranges from arts and crafts to science and building to games and travel and beyond. There's truly something for everyone of all ages.
I was sent the new Fancy Friendship Bracelets Book ($19.95), which targets ages 8 and up, to try out. What a fun book!
It comes with all the supplies you'd need, including charms, cord and beads. It brought me back to my middle school bracelet tying days, but this book has so many more designs for bracelets. I learned some more cool techniques that I wish I would have known back when I was selling bracelets in the school cafeteria (would have cut out the competition!).
Here are a few of the spreads from the book. I love the girly page designs too.
As you can see, the illustrations and instructions make it easy to follow.
Klutz is sooooo generously by offering 2 winners 2 books (one to keep and one to give away). So that means if you are one of the two winners, you'll actually get
FYI: you won't receive your book in time for Christmas, but it still would make a great after-Christmas gift.

I love the Magnetic A-Z book.Sinclair would love it!
For my kids the Twirled paper or the Amazing Thumb Art would do the trick. I really enjoy Klutz books too.
I know Roo would love that but I'd probably put it away until she was a little more likely to keep the beads off of the floor... we have the Face Painting book (courtesy of our pal Mannequin) and Roo loves it! She likes everything that allows you to make things yourself, which I think is a good thing. Personally, I'd love to try the Crochet book.
I also love the kit on making Paper Airplanes. Thanks so much for this chance. My daughter would love this. Thanks.

I, of course went straight to the science page with as many boys are in our family. I loved the book on solar cars. Way to get our youth thinking environmentally at a young age. The bracelet book is perfect to give as well because it is a green gift, not just one they'll use once and be done with!
