Ok, I didn't actually make any of the crafts or read every word, but this sure seems actually quite wonderful. The projects (mostly holiday decorations) look adorable, and *easy.*
And the materials include upcycled 'trash' and supplies most people who have done any crafting at all have access to. Just expect to use a lot of green poster paint! And save, if you have them, heart-shaped candy boxes to reuse to make a certain shamrock decoration.
No parental advisory... the most 'dangerous' parts of this require, I dunno, safety scissors?
I really like the shamrock smiley face to wear over a shirt button - the slit that goes over the button is in the middle of the 'face' and so makes the 'nose' of the little face. The craft could easily be adapted to make a Jack O' Lantern, Easter bunny or chick, Santa or Elf, etc.
I also like the idea of turning an old laundry detergent cap into a mini basket... in this case filled with cotton puffs (salvageable from pill bottles) and then paper shamrocks tucked in. Again, I imagine this could be readily adapted to any holiday, so save those caps!
And I like that the author had just a little reminder of how each craft related to the honoring of the saint.

Sure this book has a very specific, somewhat limited use - but excellent little projects, we didn't have to do any special shopping trip for supplies and were able to have a good time with them with a 4-yr old and an 8-yr old. The leprechaun card is adorable (and I'm a sucker for anything that uses their handprints!) and we also really love the castle table center.
