An addicting product 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

My son is 8. He's addicted to video games. But when he's grounded, he's not allowed to use them. I have despaired of finding any activity that interests him as much as Mario games on the Wii...until his 8th birthday party, when a friend gave him this Quick Flip Books project as a gift. He has spent the last three days working on this, with only brief interludes to go play outside or whatever. Video games have not been touched! He's obsessed with the flip books and I only wish there were more (different) flip book project kits like this one. It's a real winner.

Editorial Review:

To make this classic kid activity even easier than ever, Flip Books features several sets of perforated pages, each with a sequence of partially finished pictures illustrating a funny story. Complete the drawings in your own inimitable style. Tear out the pages, bind them with one of our custom clips, and flip them to see your art in action. It's the Rip, Clip, Grip, and Flip methods, and it's the coolest way to make a movie ever.

The geography of Star Wars 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The release of Star Wars books for young people has always been related to a theatrical promotion. In a world that has a seen all six films, a new wave of DK Readers is much appreciated. It gives us comfort that even though the movies are finished, the Star Wars experience isn't completely 'done.' "Journey Through Space" isn't actually about space travel. It's about the places one can travel to in the Star Wars universe. It offers a tour of the major planets of the saga. The tour includes visits to the most obvious planets like Corusant, Naboo, and Tatooine. In addition, the books takes the reader to Geonosis, Dagobah and Kashyyyk. The scope is actually broader than planets per se since it includes the forested moons of Endor and Yavin 4. Most locations include a text box that shares a tid-bit of Star Wars trivia. The scope includes the entire saga. The illustrations were mostly lifted from all six films with some additional stills from the Lucas archives. While the pictures are high quality, the writing is also good. This new series has books for most levels of elementary readers. Given that most destinations earn a two page spread with about three sentences, this title is best suited to readers on a second grade level. "Journey Through Space" offers an exciting bibilographic tour of the galaxy's most interesting places.

Editorial Review:

Journey Through Space takes young readers on a journey through the Star Wars Galaxy.

Great Book! 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I got it just for the cover of the book, because it had things that weren't even in my other books. However, when I got it, it wasn't what I was expecting. There were TONS of designs, so much to do. But most of it is just pictures. Only a few projects have measurements. I like to be able to just look at the book and cut out everything and make it. Not to sit there and make up what size I want it to be. So I've got to make time to figure it out and write it down for the next time I'm ready to quill. It also doesn't give actual size picture.(One book I have does) Which would help out a lot, since most projects are rather large. Other than that it's great. So much to do! I've already done all the ones that it has measurements for and shown them to my family and they all thought they were great! And they are! I am glad I did get it overall, even if it was just the cover that confinced me!

Editorial Review:

We’ve given a classic craft a fresh new twirl.

Awesome!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I gave this to my 11 year old niece for Christmas and she absolutely loved it!! She went around asking everyone in the family the quizzes. It's colorful, bright and interesting art designs really grabs their attention. I would definitely buy this again for girls aged 10-13.

I love this book! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is, like, the best book I ever quizzed in. I this Klutz did the best job on this book! I'm so glad I have the book! I got it at my school book fair and fell in love with it (even though it's just a book) at first sight.

It's All About Me: Personality Quizzes for You and Your Friends 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

If my granddaughter's (age 13) face of joy and her attachment to the book are measurement of the rating for this book, then the book rates 5 stars. The first day she had the book, she worked about 1/3 of the exercises asking everybody in sight to answer the questions. And, we enjoyed participating in the exercises. Great book for young girls.

Editorial Review:

This book includes 30 confidence-building quizzes in all, that answer only-from-Klutz questions like ""What Kind of Cookie Are you?"" and ""Eight Ways to Tell if Your Parents are Extraterrestrials."" Girls will love using the included 70-page notepad and stylish pen to jot down their quiz results and compare answers with friends.

To the author, nothing is wrong! Nothing is a mistake! If you didn't complete a spiral, you can create something better and unique! Full of great ideas!!!

Great Artistic Tool for Adults 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Not just for children. I am an artist and use the Klutz product to design mandala-like images. The possibilities are endless and you can superimpose the designs on one another with different colors and shapes.
When you work with children you need to teach them to hold down the template holder securely and put it on a flat surface, otherwise it can be frustrating. Like anything else worth doing, it requires some effort and thought. While probably not for the very young child, what better way to help children develop their creativity and life skills!

Just know your audience... 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This toy is a winner in the hands of the right person. I wouldn't give it to a four-year-old, or one who is challenged in the manual-dexterity department. It does require patience, and the desire to experiment to find the right touch.

However, for a tween to adult, this is a great toy.

Would you expect anything less from Klutz?

Editorial Review:

A retro-cool drawing activity for a whole new generation. Comes with sturdy plastic drawing wheels and multi-colored gel pens that get kids creating zillions of swirly spirals right on the pages of the book.

Good picture riddle book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The I Spy books are a play on the children's game of "I Spy" a game I played often during long car trips except that each book is themed. I Spy Mystery centers around buried treasure, a sunken ship and some other shenanigans. Most of the items photographed are miniatures and toys though what is often being sought in the riddles isn't as obvious as the photograph would first imply. The photographs themselves are deceptively simplistic. A photograph of a green house would appear to be nothing but flowers but may in fact hide things like anchors or race cars.

I Spy Mystery seems to be a tougher book than I Spy Spooky Night. I've read the book now twice and still haven't found all the mentioned items!

Editorial Review:

This bestselling book features a collection of favorite I Spy riddles that send readers searching for hidden objects in 13 photographs with a mystery theme.

James Bond: The Secret World Of 007 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This book was really amazing. It has almost every little detail of every Bond movie from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough. Book also contains some spectacular large photos from the movies. For each section of the movies, it describes basically what it was about, and it gives some of the information about charcters, villains, settings, and the "gadgets" used in the movie. It also contains hand-drawn pictues of scenes and places from the movie. Labels are also on the pictures (pointing out what is what). Really amazing, and you might learn a thing or two as well which is nice. At the end of the book after it has discussed all of Bond's missions, it has info on the movies themselves like the cast and crew. Then there is the index. This is a MUST BUY for any true James Bond fanatic. It is a fun book to look at, and to this day, I look through it as well and it sparks many memories. If you are not too familar with Mr. Bond, then do not bother with this item. A tremendous book, definitly worth your hard earned money.

Great bonding tool that's fun & healthy 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My kids loves this because THEY get to select the cards and twist Mama into a pretzel. It their choice and we are doing an activity TOGETHER. There are some good/simple breathing & meditation techniques in there too, aside from the poses.

My son is ready to go! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Arrived yesterday and my son has taken over the box. (He's 8). We are going to get started together. I like the descriptions of the breathing and how you should 'feel' when you do the movements/relaxing poses.
Since I'm taking a yoga class (i'm a newb) and he's going by the names on the cards, it's a bit confusing when he says, I can do the 'turtle' or I can do the 'rainbow.' But for him I find I like 'rainbow' as opposed to 'corpse pose.'
Also, the cards are not the size of a 'deck' of cards. They are larger, more the size of a DVD case. The box is sturdy thick cardboard and has a nice flip top. I'm thinking it will help us take care of them properly.
He did go thru each card and at the end has decided he wants the book and the pretzel mat. (Way to go for the marketing plan!!)

These don't seem too 'baby' for someone his age and I think that up to 9, maybe pushing 10 could use them also.

Completely satisfied.

SO incredibly fun! Best Klutz book yet! 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

My 7 year old loved loved loved this book. It came with tons and tons of great pages to make all kinds of fairies. Easy, yet creative! I also love that Klutz gives you tons of other ideas of how to make fairies without the products included. They are basically getting you started with the products provided in the book, then they show you tons of other great fairy making ideas. Possibilites are endless! Yay for Klutz!

Our least favorite Klutz book 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Our opinion is the dissenting one, but we really didn't like this kit one bit. In fact, we put it away in frustration last summer, then got it out this summer to try again. Now, my 8-yr-old daughter and I are despising it all over again this year.

Why? (1) The wires that are supposed to make up the fairy legs tend to unravel. Once they do, you can't use them (we're currently waiting for the glue to dry as we tried to glue the covering back to the wire.) (2) The embroidery thread came pre-tangled, saving us the trouble of making our own mess out of it. (3) The gold embroidery thread unravels while you're using it. (4) Not much room for using your imagination . . . you're really just choosing from a very few pre-selected pieces of artificial flowers and a half dozen fuse-bead-sized beads. (5) The bits are small and finicky and require excellent dexterity and vision. (6) There aren't nearly enough flower pieces to make lavish fairies like those pictured on the cover of the book.

Finally, after all the frustration and fuss of the dealing with tiny beads, unraveling wire, tangled floss, and skimpy selection of flower pieces etc, the end result is a disappointment. What'cha gonna do with a lumpy, unraveling, glue-globbed, half-dressed mess of a flower fairy?

Editorial Review:

A craft book packaged with all the supplies you need to make a dozen little fairy dolls dressed in petal-perfect style. It's surprisingly easy to turn the included beads, embroidery floss, florist's wire and fabric faux flower petals into a pack of pixie pals.
