Review of "Let's Start Shapes" by Brenda Apsley

Each of the clever children's book kits in this series is filled with great little challenges to do something creative. All of the odds and ends that you will need are included along with books of instruction and pads of paper, cards, spinner, paints, jingle bells, drumsticks, string, and well, just a lot of items that a kid would need to keep busy and happy.

These are not for children under four because of the small parts. For ages from about eight and up, kids will not devour all the little helpful pieces, and they'll also get a tremendous amount of fun and educational value out of the things they can make and do.
