The three sections of this book are really interestingly grouped - The first chapter is 'Collaborations', projects where you and your kid, or groups of kids, make something as a group, everyone participates and feel ownership of the project. The second chapter is 'Companions', pairs of projects that the both of you (child and adult) can happily do side by side, each with their own project but using the same resources, making a mess together and helping each other when needed, but each project is separate and fairly open ended and easily achieved by each person. The last chapter 'Family field trips' is absolutely delightful. Projects that are for outside and for groups or families to do together. Not requiring special skills, just enthusiasm and lots of hands. I really like this book. It is quite different from a lot of craft books for kids and parents, I like the collaborative projects and I love the unique perspective. I am very happy to see Tsia back in the world of books.Similar Posts: Book: blog tour: Country side softies | The flip side of cake (is a green smoothie) | How to make a funky kids playstove out of an old side table | Book :: Play these games by Heather Swain | book: Color by Kristin | Share and Enjoy: via kath_red http://whipup.net/2012/12/10/book-side-by-side/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+WhipUp+%28whip+up%29 taghandcraftnews
