Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Holiday Crafts Kids Can Make
Gerald M. Knox · 1987
62/100
👎 Skip It
Wide holiday coverage, step-by-step instructions, and 35 years of ongoing secondhand circulation tell you this was a genuinely useful family craft reference in its day. The 1987 vintage is also its ceiling: materials, techniques, and visual production are dated, and there is no critical record to weigh against it. A fine find at a thrift store, but not worth seeking out at full price when current craft resources are freely available.
