When my kids were smaller I took out every craft and STEAM book in the library and tore through them thinking “Why isn’t there a book of crafts that kids can do without an adult?!”(I eventually found a few.) This book, unfortunately, is one that I would have immediately returned as it’s essentially just an ad for Crayola products. The projects are either boring or too complicated to be done without a parent present the entire time.  It suggests science themed crafts but has no information to explain them. For example, a moon flip-book craft instructs the kids to research moon phases. Why not include a brief explanation for them?
