好评：
"Created by the mother of a toddler who lives in a small apartment, Katrina Rodabaugh assures us that there's a variety of projects, for toddlers and older, possible even if you're working on the kitchen table with only material from your recycling bin. Better yet, her book includes patterns that can be used with felt, wood and other materials. The author also has some practical suggestions for storing such materials: for example, by folding smaller boxes flat and tucking them and saved paper in a shallow box under the bed.The projects range from very simple--star wands for your magician or princess's costume--to elaborate, like the miniature Airstream trailer and VW bus, and the fold-up playhouse and two-story dollhouse.Overall, what we at News for Parents like most is the emphasis on re-using materials, whether they are security envelopes, cereal boxes, advertising mail or packing cartons, and the fact that most of these projects can be made simple or sophisticated. - "News for Parents"
