"Ranging from joyful crafting to crafting for change, this series invites readers to create something for themselves or for others. Each title starts with an explanation of what craftivism is, then introduces ten crafts of varying levels of difficulty with a supply list, a reason to make the craft, and step-by-step written instructions. A craftivism tip is offered for most of the activites ("Make window clings…to prevent bird crashes…"). Back matter includes a list of books and websites where readers can learn more. Not every craft has an image to accompany the written instructions, although many of the projects are simple enough to follow. As stated in every book, instructions should be read before starting, and safety precautions should be followed by asking for help from an adult. VERDICT Fun crafts for all ages (with supervision) that can spark joy and change."
