Discovered during a recent visit to our local library, The Kids’ Multicultural Art Book has given more than I expected from a craft book. Creative ideas, simple materials and cultural context combine into an amazing starting point for dozens of rewarding projects. Our copy (once renewed) is stuffed with sticky notes marking the many ideas my 6-year-old can’t wait to try; never mind that we’ve completed eight adorable crafts already. I anticipate a smile from the librarian when he trots to the desk next week to renew it again.

My biggest complaint about this book is that ot leaves out South American and European arts and crafts. Other than that, a really easy to follow crafting book. Most supplies are items laying around the house. Lots of fun ideas and perfectly suited for the recommended age range of 3 to 9 years.

Not super inspiring.

Would be five stars if it were illustrated.
