"Craft Lab for Kids" gives kids and adults a wide variety of craft projects from which to choose, 52 in all, aimed at various ages and skill levels. The projects can be completed using materials and media that can probably be found in most homes. There is indeed something for everyone here!

The book is divided into sections, with projects grouped into topics, such as "15 Minute Makes," "Classic Crafts with a Twist," and "Crafting with Kindness." Each project description includes lists of materials, step-by-step directions accompanied by color photos, call-out boxes with tips for enrichment and adaptations for "little hands," and information about skill development. A table of contents and an index make it easy to find suitable projects, whether a kid has 15 minutes or an entire day to devote to a craft. Additional color photos feature both boys and girls demonstrating the finished projects. Teachers, parents, and librarians will probably love this book, but no doubt will have to negotiate with a kid to get their hands on it. (Personally, I found a ton of crafts from this book that I would like to try.)
