Review: [This review was first published in the "Ephrata (Pa.) Review."]

Bright felt squares, needle, embroidery floss, scissors. These four basic materials and a child's hands can create 60 practical items for personal use, decorations or gifts.

Labeled "very easy," "easy," "a little harder," and "challenging," the projects include games (tic-tac-toe and checkers boards), household items (coasters, placemats), apparel (vests, baby bibs), decorations (Christmas tree skirt, mobiles) and toys (beanbags, puppets).

The book's format is kid friendly. Its binding allows the large pages to lie flat. Instructions are numbered and clear, and each craft is generously illustrated with large photos. Instructions for basic stitches and patterns are included.
