[.ca] The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions 2: More Than 65 New ... (ISBN 0966108817)

From Amazon.com:
From the creators of the wildly popular book, The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions comes a second inventive collection of wild potions and crazy crafts--all easily and inexpensively made from common household items. Kids should have a ball creating such wonders as an edible ocean (gummy fish suspended in Jell-O) or a greenhouse grown in a plastic bag. Among the 78 recipes are instructions for making such revolutionary new artistic mediums as whipped cream finger paint, dryer lint clay, and toothpaste putty. Quite a few of the concoctions are edible--chocolate bowls and fruity leather roll-ups sound particularly delicious--while others make great party activities or simple gifts. Almost all the concoctions make a perfect diversion for a bored child on a rainy afternoon. The simple, well-organized instructions make the book easy for kids ages 8 and up to use, though the authors call for adult supervision on all recipes. This is the kind of craft book that's bound to become a family favorite--in time, its large-format black and white pages should be covered with the residue of many hours of messy fun. (Ages 8 to 12) --Marianne Painter

Wow! Its Better Than The First Book!:
Its very rare to find a book series where the second in the series is better than the first. But thats not the case with the new Kid Concoctions book. "The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions #2" was a hit the first time my children and I opened the book. Almost all of the projects are made from 3-4 common household ingredients. The projects seem to be even more original and innovative than the projects in the first book! Hats off to the authors for making a book that lives up to its name and out shines the original. A must have book for any parent or grandparent.

Not as "different" as I had hoped but still good.:
I was hoping for some really different ideas. Some were but others were common knowledge ideas. All in all, I don't really regret the purchase.

Great Book Series!:
Kid Concoctions is our children's favorite book series. The second book is even fresher and more original than the first. We hope Book #3 isn't too far ahead in the future. Keep those concoctions coming!

Better than the original!:
What a surprise! More innovate and creative than the first book. My kids are having a real blast tonight making the Splongee Flyers! A++

BETTER THAN THE 1st!!:
What a surprise! The second book is better than the first. Jammed full of fresh new innovative ideas. I have been a crafter for over 37 years and thought I had seen it all. I guess I was wrong. My grandchildren love it!
