Nice Graphics, Poor Quality
Mat is bright in color and the graphics are very nice, but its flimsy.Very thin and will not hold up to repeated use by a child.

good quality for the money
This is great for having around at home.My older son likes to play school and 'teach' his younger brother using this poster.Its decent quality for the inexpensive price tag.

OK
I like this place mat but hoped it had a better protective coating because I am not convinced it will last as long as the ones I have with the plastic coating.

Learning the alphabet over dinner!
This has been a great meal time placemat for my 5 year old. Not sturdy enough to put in the dishwasher but fine to wipe clean.Cheap enough to buy multiple types (love the number and animal ones that are sold separately).She also uses it as a reference when practicing her letters. ... Read more

great craft book
I found myself having to unexpectably homeschool my kindergartener.This book has been great to come up with craft ideas to help feel like they are not missing out on school.It is categorized, but not necessarily grouped in ways I would think of, still helpful though.Items can easily be obtained from a store, or saved up as you use other household things, ie toilet paper rolls, egg carton.

A lot of ideas, good price
I bought this to get some ideas for doing crafts with my son at home. Got a lot of ideas in good price.

Good for Kids
This product is fairly orgainzed and clear about the materials and step by step procedures for the activities. The only thing is that I wish there was more organization with the age groups in each cateogory. Besides that, it is a great purchase!

Nice resourse
I bought this book for my daughter, who has two small boys. They love arts and crafts and this book has plenty of great ideas. Well organized and plenty of variety. Directions are simple and illustrations are heplpful. She loves it.

Getting all books from this series!
My 5 yr old daughter loves this book, she is always asking me to get it for her. The directions are easy to follow, the illustrations are so beatifully made and it's a full color book. My daughter's favorite drawing is the princess ballerina; she has made over ten of the same and now she is adding her own details. I highly reccommend for any child in the 5-9 age range.

Favorite drawing book
My six-year-old granddaughter loves this book.I gave it to her along with 3 other drawing books, which were quickly cast aside in favor of this Usborne book.The illustrated instructions are clear and natural.

Great Book
This is a great book.Each page is in color, and filled with ideas.I teach elementary art, and when my students finish early with an assignment they have a choice of drawing books to choose from.This is one of their favorites!

My 5-year-old LOVES this book!
My daughter received this book (along with I Can Draw Animals also excellent!) for Christmas (which was 2 days before her 5th birthday) and she LOVES it! Very easy directions she can follow all by herself and something she uses over and over again! Great book for little artists!

Excellent Book!
