As I do babysitting on weekends, I prepare myself for rainy days when the kids say, "I'm bored!" I am not a big believer in sticking kids in front of the TV, so I like to have something for them to do. Crafts are always a hit.
Best Ever Craft Book for Kids is the best book I have seen for children. The projects are fun and exciting to do. A lot of them are doable with the basic stuff I carry in my crafts bag. Most do not call for specialty supplies. My favorite feature of the book includes using stuff recycled from around the house.
The sun dial made from a paper plate is the cutest thing. Box-making and dying fabric is really cool if you have the time. They also teach string art, cross-stitch, paper boats and roses, face-painting; I could go on and on.
I tried the crafts book by Rosie O'Donnell and frankly, to anyone who has crafted, there was just nothing new or very exciting to do. Perhaps this book is so good because it is a collaborative effort of an entire staff of people. Whatever the reason, it is worth every cent I spent on it. The kids I sit for all wonder if I have "The Book" with me when I come to sit for them.
