      Gr 3-6-The crafts in each of these books will make for good classroom, club activities, and parties. The instructions are reasonably foolproof and with five to six per volume, a lot to choose from. The projects in Dolls are all about individualization and creativity, while others require scrupulous attention, such as the recipes in Crayons and Doughs. Many of these projects are made using easily accessible materials, although some ingredients-clear casting epoxy (Blocks), liquid starch (Doughs), and glow-in-the-dark powder (Crayons)-are special-purchase items. Fun facts about kid favorites like LEGO, Barbie, and Monopoly are liberally sprinkled throughout. VERDICT A strong choice.

      This genuinely creative series goes beyond the usual children's craft books, presenting engaging new ideas for ambitious kids (with adult help) to make colorful homemade toys: a working paper slinky, mini magnetic clay blocks, glow-in-the-dark goo, and more. The books, featuring colorful layouts, step-by-step instructions illustrated with photographs, and (mostly) simple materials, encourage middle graders to "make your own fun." Glos., ind.
