This is an adorable project book. With a few rocks, paints or marker pens, you can create some wonderful 'pets'.I adored the ladybird, but the lion the bee and the birds are just fantastic. This is a perfect rainy afternoon craft for kids, there is really no effort needed and it's so much fun. Each of the 50 projects, have instructions that are simple to follow, and with a picture step by step, it is both educational and fun. There is a concise 'rock guide' to ensure you choose the ideal size, shape and type. There is also a list of things needed and some tips on how to get started.This book would be amazing for small groups to get together and have some creative fun. It is just brilliant, and one I highly recommend.
