An easy to follow guide for kids to get creative.

Different media are used to create unique gifts.

The diagram are easy to follow. My 9 year old has had fun working through some of them so far.

A great resource for sparking some creativity in your kids.

Many thanx to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

This book is brilliant for children and gives lots of clever ideas to make on rainy or "bored" days. Instructions and pictures are clear enough for most children to follow but suggest an adult help younger ones where cutting is needed. A lovely, well thought out book for children.

There is such a variety of different items in this book. The projects would mostly be suitable for children, or to make alongside children, as well as for a fun craft project for an adult.
I want to make the murmuration of starlings first - it has the potential to be a really beautiful sculpture.
I also love the simple paper crafts like articulated animals, and more complex ones like the volvelle.
There are also basic printing techniques.
I'm going to try loads of these ideas.

This is super cute. I'm going to make a couple of the projects tomorrow. I think I'm going to do the pipe cleaner buddies first!

Lovely little crafting book, ideal for youngsters.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for access to this book.

I didn't expect this book to be anything more than things a kid could make that parents keep around because their kids made them. I was surprised. There are a lot of things that someone would enjoy getting from anyone and keeping because they actually are worth keeping.

Cute projects that can mostly be done with stuff found around the house. I liked that her samples were "rustic" rather than "perfect" -- and I mean that in the nicest way!

A cute little book on spending time with children making easy little projects to give s gifts or keep. Pipe Cleaners, papers, glue, paint and scissors, makes this book an easy project book for the holidays, wet days indoors, or just when the kids want to make something. Amazing what can be done with little materials

Such lovely things to make in this book. Simple to follow and easily adaptable. It really did make me happy. Loved it!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Little Gifts to Make is an adorable, bright book full of cute things to make and do. I want to have a go at afew of these craft ideas/projects especially the little characters on the front of the book. This would make a fun book to keep for rainy day activities with your children. The crafts involved are low cost and easily sourced materials which I loved. I wouldn't say you need much in the way of having experience in crafts to use this book or make these little projects, so it's suitable for starters to use.

This book is filled with ADORABLE projects that use mostly around-the-house materials. There are finger puppets, greeting cards, dolls, and booklets. A perfect sourcebook for librarians and teachers who are always on the lookout for art projects for the younger set.

This is a cute book, but wasn't what I expected.

The Happy Book of Little Gifts to Make has 15 activities that you can make and gift. While I like the concept, I was expecting more. There are instructions for each project and information on variations of each so you can continue your crafting. Overall there's only a couple of the crafts I'd personally do which was a bummer. There are nice pictures though!

Filled with fun ideas, this book would be great to explore with kids. Sarah breaks down her instructions well and they are easy to follow. Fun!

An inspirational and quirky art instruction for teachers and anyone who works with children. I was always wondering what I could do with all those pipe cleaners.

Unfortunately, I'm only giving this title 2 and a half stars. The little gifts and projects could have been done better with some more effort put forth. For me, they just felt half done.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group

A Happy Book of Little Gifts to Make is full of wonderful ideas and gorgeous little projects for the crafty person to indulge in. The illustrations are excellent and the instructions are easy to follow. It would make the perfect gift book and would also be wonderful to do with children. Overall a fabulous book.

This really is quite the charming, whimsical, and yes, happy book of teeny gift ideas.

This would be outstanding for spending crafty days with a little one in your life as I think the layout of this beautifully presented book will really encourage creativity in children.

This book has some lovely ideas for crafty gifts that will make both the lucky recipient and the crafter happy, through the joy of the process! I found the illustrations both helpful and inspiring, and I loved the practical nature of the projects, often repurposing common objects, this is a great projects for adults and potentially older primary aged children to enjoy together.

My thanks to NetGalley, author, publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.
