If you're a crafty mum or dad, knit addict babysitter or uninspired play-school attendant, then Making Stuff For Kids is defiantly the right craft book for you.

The book is crammed full of fun and exciting craft projects that are simple enough for your kids to do, while being engaging enough for grown-ups to enjoy, making this a must-buy for school holidays. Some of the best projects include instructions for sewing a tutu, a pattern for knitted critters and a recipe for play dough.

Don't worry if you're a beginner crafter either, the skill-level required ranges from basic to advanced, while suggesting which projects are best for certain age groups and providing tutorials for a range of crafting techniques. And at the very back of the book, there's an adult's only section, providing more complicated projects for grown-up's to do unsupervised while the kids rest after a long day of craft.

You can pick up a copy of the book from Amazon or Black Dog Publishing now!
