Complete Idiot's Guide to Crafts with Kids (The Complete Idiot's Guide)

I thought that since this book was for idiots it would be very basic have many easy crafts. Instead I found many of the projects to be a little intimidating. I never took shop, so I'm not into building birdhouses, and I have no interest in cutting metal with a three year old. The drawings and lack of color weren't too inspiring either. Many of the craft require equipment that I don't have, nor do I wish to purchase.

I found Family Fun Crafts by Deanna Cook to be a much better book for smaller children (and for me) - colorful, fun, and as easy or as difficult as you care to make it.
