Review: Based on previous reviews, I expected a lot more ideas from this book. In planning a birthday party for my 6-year-old daughter, I had hoped to find more practical crafts and games for children. I was dissappointed that few of the ideas were original-- many of them I already had. I mean, come on, I thought the page dedicated to making fairy invitations could be more creative than: Get a paper, fold it in half, write the party information on the inside and outside, glue sparkly things to the invitation, address and stamp the envelope, put the invitation inside, and mail it. I may adapt a couple of the crafts for our party, but the flower fairy dolls are too difficult for children to make themselves, and I think many of the crafts and games I already have will be more fun. If you are experienced with throwing good theme parties, you probably don't need this book. If you need ideas and don't have many of your own, this book will get you started.

Summary: Fabulous activity book for children and parents!
Review: If you or your child is fascinated by fairies and loves to create props for imaginary play, this is the book for your family! My five year old daughter has used this book almost every day since receiving it last month. Most of the projects she has picked have needed some guidance or hands-on help from an adult, but she can participate fully in their completion. My nine year old would be able to do most of the projects independently. We've made fairy dust, and hand sewn bags to carry it. The stick puppets and fairy treasure box are used almost daily. My daughter is busily planning her next birthday party entirely from the pages of this book! My favorite feature is that while the directions are thorough and can be followed by older children, they leave plenty of room for individual creativity. Your fairy lover can take the authors' suggestions and easily adapt each project to her own style!
