I got this book for my 5 year old daughter and 5 year old niece. They both love to make things and loved the items in this book. My daughter wanted to make so many things for each holiday, we didn't come close to making all of them. There are some items that are a bit lame, but the others make the book worth it. I only had to buy a few low cost craft items like felt squares, pipe cleaners, ribbon, and the like to make the items in the book. Everything else we had in the house (egg cartons, construction paper, material scraps, ...).
If you have "crafty kids" this is a good idea book for them. It would also be good for preschools, elementary schools, and churches.

Mix them all together and Viola playdough. You can tweak it with a little extra flour or water depending on the consistency you need.

Give you little one a rolling pin and some cute cookie cutters.
Let them roll out the dough and cut out the shapes. Poke a hole in each of the "cookies" let them dry overnight, flipping so both sides will dry.
