Awesome!

Kids and adults will have a great time at home, at camp, or at school. This fabulous little book is a wealth of information. Fun experimentation, and sparks creativity and a better understanding of all the magic of art supplies. I bought a second one for my niece, because I'm just not ready to give up my first one. !

the best ever

This is the ultimate book for scout leaders, creative teachers, youth leaders, anyone with kids who wants to make those common things that we get off the shelf. In here, you can find recipes for ink, paint, glue, clay in any form. The kids' reaction is something along the lines of "WOW!", "I didn't know you could make that," " Is that how it's done?" The book shows us mere mortals how to make magic. Great fun for kids of all ages!

Very good book on home-made art and craft supplies

Helen's book is a wealth of information on art and craft materials you can make at home. The supplies necessary are easy to find, many of which are found commonly in the home, and most of which are non-toxic. This book is especially great for parents who have young children experimenting in the art world, and they will save money by making their own materials over buying commercial products. Helen Sattler's recipes cover paints, glues, many common and unusual modelling clay compounds, inks, papier mache, and some unusual materials such as crystal garden growing compound and stamp glue. Budding artists young and old will find this book to be an intriguing and resourceful compilation. It's also a great gift for teachers and other people who work with young children.
