Craft A Day – Book Review
- Are you a parent who wants to foster a love of crafting in your children?
- Are you a teacher looking for ways to enhance creativity in the classroom?
- Are you a crafter looking for ways to add some razzle dazzle to your home?
If so, Sarah Goldschadt’s new book, Craft A Day – 365 Simple Handmade Projects is for you!
Craft A Day is filled with 365 Simple Handmade Projects – one for every day of the year!
The projects are easy to make and lots of fun to create. The book is divided into weekly themes. Each week contains templates relating to the theme – for example, starbursts, kittens, snowflakes – and then 7 projects featuring the theme. Each project is featured on a full colored page with a supply list and simple instructions. Many of the supplies are items you will already have readily available in your home.
Here is a sampling of the types of projects you will create throughout the year:
- Cards
- Gift Tags
- Bookmarks
- Puppets
- Headbands
- Cupcake Toppers
- Garland
- Ears
- Tote Bags
- Mobiles
- Magnets
Experienced crafters may find the projects a bit basic, but parents, teachers, homeschoolers, and new crafters else will appreciate the simplicity of the ideas and the instructions!
Sarah has created not only a great resource but a wonderful gift book.

Welcome to Create With Joy, Kathie – so glad you found us – your blog rocks! 🙂
Thank for visiting my blog! I must say, I am in love with your design. It perfectly matches your blog concept!
I would love to get one of these books when I have children, however, sometimes crafts just pile up, and because they have sentimental value, you don’t want to throw them away. Well, maybe that’s just me. I think I would make a craft like twice a month with my kids. Maybe less.
Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? But, trust me, these craft truly CAN be done in a day – they are easy and fun, even for the novice crafter! 🙂

Sounds awesome. We are about to enter the toddler frenzied crafting days, so I have purchased a painting smock to protect clothing and I am at the ready, so this book sounds excellent. Thanks for linking it in to the Kid Lit Blog Hop

Oh, how fun! I could have used this book about 5 years ago when my daughter was much more into crafts. Thanks for linking your post in the Kid Lit Blog Hop!
That looks fun! Thanks for sharing on Traffic Jam Weekend at LifeasaLEOWife.com!
I could see how these craft ideas would be fun for a child. I used to enjoy books like this myself.
Thanks for sharing at the Sunday Sunshine Blog Hop!
