Gr. 2^-5. Although intended for younger children who want to create the favors, decorations, foods, and games for their own parties, this book will also be valuable for caregivers, teenage baby-sitters, and adults who need interesting craft and party ideas to use with children. The authors provide patterns and clear, step-by-step instructions for all the make-it-yourself projects, and large, full-color drawings and photographs show the process as well as the finished product. Safety tips are included as necessary, as well as in the introduction. Chris Sherman
