This book is a wonderful resource for girls.  It includes what the author describes as "crafts and activities for curious, creative, courageous girls;"  just what we hope for those young women in our lives. 

The authors do an excellent job of meeting their goal.  There are chapters on everything from tying knots to stargazing; from bird watching to neighborhood games like capture the flag; to having a photographer's eye and a backyard hideaway.  For example, the first section on Finding Your Way includes information on how to read maps and has projects like making a compass and making one's own map. It demonstrates the skills that girls can build while enjoying their leisure time.  As an extra bonus there are short biographies of some famous women.  All in all, a wonderful compilation to inspire kids to have fun and take some risks.  I would have loved this book when I was a kid.  It is a great resource for families, scout troops, clubs and schools. 


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.

I love this activities book! I have two toddlers and have tried many activity books with them. This layout is great with easy to follow instructions, easy to find supplies, and with big and colorful pictures. There is a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. And the author includes facts and tips, great learning tools for kids of all ages. My kids and I did a few and they were engaged, excited, and proud of their results. I will be purchasing a few to give to cousins and friends.
