An amazing book combining cultural fun facts and DIY ideas to get into the Christmas spirit. It was great to get to know more about customs from countries all over the world, not just the Western part of our globe. Lots of mouthwatering recipes to choose from and tons of crafts to get inspired by. Highly recommended!

We've been crafting for Christmas with my kids for 12 years, the least I can say is that I'm out of ideas. This book however is filled with 24 new ideas to me at least and we even get to learn about other countries Christmas traditions. The step by step is clear and easy to follow and the drawings are just too cute.

Thank you Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for my ARC copy.
I really loved this, it has such a huge selection of crafts to do with kids. Because there is 24 you could easily make it into an advent event. I can't wait to try some of these out with my nieces and nephews.

This was a cute collection of holiday crafts from around the world. I enjoyed the short background on each of the traditions and the mix of religious and non-religious topics. The illustrations were cute and consistent throughout the book, though for some of the projects true photos may have made the project easier to understand.
I would recommend this book for my libraries and anyone who has small children who enjoy crafting or making things.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley.
