My Book Of Easy Crafts

This workbook was designed especially for children who will make three-dimensional objects for the first time. Simple contours and large tabs for pasting make it easy for children to successfully complete the assignments. As they turn two-dimensional parts in the three-dimensional toys, children experience the satisfaction of creating things and grow more confident in what they can do with their hands.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Not for the highly creative child
I was excited to see this workbook from Kumon, since my daughter (4 yrs old) has liked some of them in the past. Unfortunately, she has not been interested in doing any of these crafts. I think it’s because she likes to think of the craft herself, and then follow through with her idea. She doesn’t like crafts when there isn’t a whole lot of creative thought needed.

If your child is creative, it may not be the best workbook for you. If your child likes crafts, but sometimes can’t think of what to do on his/her own, then this workbook may be a lot of fun. There are some cute things to make (in my opinion, not my child’s!).

4 Stars Great crafts on sturdy paper
Very colorful, simple and yet detailed artwork. My almost 3 year old needs alot of help with these but he loves them. A good way to get your child away from the tv and using his hands to create something.

5 Stars Fabulous book
My six-year-old has been working from this book non-stop since she got it, and she rarely has to ask for help. I am very pleased, since she’s having a blast and it’s not too complicated. The crafts are also cute and intriguing and they are not all the same, though there are sometimes more than one version of something (animal masks, for example). So far she has made finger puppets, rings, masks, a man that smiles or frowns depending on how you view him, a cool balancing eagle, etc. (I like that some of the projects deal with optical illusion, etc.) My only not-really-a-complaint is that I would prefer a different kind of illustration. I don’t particularly like contemporary animation-like drawing with lots of gradients. But this is picky and doesn’t affect my daughter’s enjoyment of the book.

5 Stars Perfect for rainy days!
This book has been a life saver for days my daughter dosen’t want to play outside or says she is bord. Once we get started she dosen’t want to stop! There are lots of things to make in this book, some are kind of cheesy like a paper ring but there are many really nice things that you can actually play with.Like a paper bird that you put 2 pieces of string in and make it race up the strings and a hen that flaps its wings.She is always very proud when she has completed a project and has to go around to show everyone her masterpiece.

Cutting skills are needed with this book.So you can cut around all of the dotted lines and there are marked spots for glue and lines for folding.

I can see even using the book to create your own projects from cardstock,this would be great for teachers!

Thank you Kumon for putting out a kids craft book that is actually usable and has so many pages of projects!

4 Stars unique crafts in a quality book
I am glad I purchased this workbook. However, some of the activities are a bit difficult for my 4 year old to cut out on her own. It has definitely helped to improve her skills in cutting with scissors. She usually needs my help/supervision, but I love giving her a variety of activities to do each day. The pages are thick enough and the illustrations are cute and unique.
