Things to Do With Mom: Lots of Fun for Everyone (Best at Everything) - Hardcover

Grade 3–6—This addition to Scholastic's series of nostalgic-looking activity books is packed with suggestions for boredom-banishing projects. Brief chapters introduce more than 50 indoor and outdoor activities, from growing tadpoles and gardens to making perfume and sachets, to simple sewing and cooking (recipes range from chocolate-chip muffins to a "Fresh Pasta Feast"). Some endeavors are artistic such as creating a pop-up card, making placemats, or customizing a T-shirt. Also included are directions for games and magic tricks and suggestions for planning a picnic and a spa day for mom. The instructions are clearly presented, and icons indicate when adult supervision is necessary. Black-line illustrations of a mother and her children engaged in various tasks appear throughout.—Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA
