My Take on the Book
If you are a teacher you are always looking for ways in which you can help your kids learn while doing fun things. At the same time, during the year there are times when you want to engage your kids in activities that will let them make gifts that their parents, or other loved ones will appreciate. In watching my own wife do this I know that this can at times be frustrating, as you want something that is fun, but easy to implement and at times ideas may escape your mind. This book provides the rescue needed in those times as it is filled with great ideas about gifts that any teacher (or anyone) can make with children. The ideas are great ones and they are simple enough to make. The instructions were easy to follow and the supplies that you need for the ideas were minimal (which was great as well). Overall, this is a book that I would highly recommend!
