review 1: This whimsical book has crafts and recipes that revolve around an Alice in Wonderland theme, sure to please crafty children and adults that like tea parties and all things Alice. The book starts off with information about the authors and a bit of history about Lewis Carroll, but quickly dives into the crafts, recipes, paper dolls, and games. Time for Tea Jewelry shows the reader how to make a charming bracelet, earrings, and necklace set using a dollhouse tea set, while the Mad Hatter Hats section gives step-by-step instructions on how to make five fun hats. There are paper dolls of Alice and the white rabbit to print and dress up. Other highlights include tea set invitations, playing card bunting, and giant rose lights. Some crafts do require sewing skills, but there are... more plenty here that do not. Instructions along with lovely photographs, templates, and a resource guide are all included. Note: a child would need the help of an adult to accomplish most of the activities.Verdict: creative, fun, fanciful book that will please any Alice in Wonderland fan.
review 2: This was ok. I really do love the book and more than one of the film adaptations of it, but I think that's my limit on whimsy, as all Alice-related crafts that I have seen just seem too over the top for me. I did like that they had different types of crafts with practical and not so practical uses, and also that they had recipes. For someone looking for *more* whimsy in their life, however, this would be a well-rounded choice! less
