Review What a fantastic book... There are some duplicates between the girls and boys book, but enough differences you'll want both. (Lisa Day Inside Toronto 2015-10-28)Vidaling's playful books focus on exploring creativity with children through commonplace items, such as found natural objects, food, cardboard, and upcycled materials. Both volumes (Reviewed with How To Amaze Your Daughter) include a number of activities, crafts, and simple experiments perfect for a rainy afternoon or a parent-child playdate. Adults may remember some of these projects from grade school... The directions are simple enough for older children to follow on their own, and parents won't be frustrated with the projects or the results (but some may get a little messy). Though the two books are divided by gender, and each contains projects that are stereotypically geared toward boys or girls, most of the projects are gender-neutral or easy to adapt to suit any child's interests... Parent-child craft books are popular, and the projects in these books are appropriate for a wide range of age levels, from preschoolers to tweens. Parents and caregivers will enjoy exploring their children's creative side with these projects. (Library Journal 2015-11-01)

Introduction
"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." This sentence is Picasso's. But what is an artist? Someone who looks at the world with a curious eye, gifted with a creativity that transforms raw material into poetry? Yes, children have this talent, this perpetual wonder that makes them enthusiastic for new experiences, capable of investing themselves in a little project with as much enthusiasm and seriousness as they would if their life depended on it: making soap bubbles or paper airplanes, tying a remote-control motor to a stuffed animal on wheels, or making a skirt of flowers to put around a little doll. Playing is about inventing, testing, letting your imagination and concrete experiences rub up against one another. And, in the end, it's about growing as well. Only while growing up, we sometimes lose our open mind. We throw out bottle caps without seeing the possibility of them being wheels: we no longer pick up feathers on the sidewalk. Sometimes, even, we forget to sculpt volcanoes in our mashed potatoes! That is, we forget unless we have the chance to have children of our own, who remind us not to neglect the most important things: play, fantasy and making wonderful things for the sake of making something wonderful!
This book is a helping hand for parents who haven't lost their inner child, for those who, between the "brush your teeth" and "don't forget to say thank you" will add the essential insight: "Never forget to see the extraordinary in the ordinary!"

I do like the book, but feel that many of the crafts, recipes, and experiments are geared for a slightly younger age. The book is brimming with 50 fun, exciting, and creative projects that you can do together. I like that idea - the concept of bonding with your son, especially for fathers and sons. The great thing about these is that they're inexpensive and they're also easy - a big plus. You also don't have to go out in search of pvc pipe or plumber's glue and other odd items. Most of these can be done with things you already have in your home - like matches, potatoes, etc. You and your son will enjoy learning new things as you perform magic tricks, create cool recipes, and conduct fun science experiments. This really feeds into a boy's innate sense of curiosity and will be a big hit with boys between the ages of 5-10.

By C'est Moi I have both this book and the "How to Amaze Your Daughter" version, and while both have their merit I like this one slightly less. The book has instructions for cutesy little projects and experiments. There are some you can do together, decorations, things that can be played with, some are "experiments", and some can be eaten.Though the boy and girl versions differ in a lot of ways, both have a few experiments/crafts in common, such as: kokedama hanging Japanese gardens (pictures vary but directions are identical), round candleholders (wax for girls an ice for boys), moon phases made from Oreos (exactly the same), and more. I'm actually glad I got both because there are plenty of projects that both boys and girls could like. The experiments and recipes especially seem like they could go either way.In each book I found about the same amount of projects that I love and I know my daughter will too, but between the two this one has more duds. Some ideas that I don't like include: "A Drum Kit Made from Small Tin Cans" because it involves opened metal cans and their tops, which can get rusted and possibly cut kids; "A Ball Forest with Surprises Inside", which would have you put sticks from outside into homemade snacks (kind of unsanitary imo, plus may have pesticides, insects, etc.); and "A Mobile Made of Cheese Doilies to Eat with No Hands" because it involves putting thin metal wires into food, which can go badly with kids. Then again, there are a lot of good ideas overall. I'd recommend getting both books if you have boys and girls, but I still prefer the other one.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fun Craft Book for Boys AND Girls By Katherine Chan With both a son and a daughter in the house, I thought it very fitting to have the opportunity to review both How to Amaze Your Son and How to Amaze Your Daughter. Both books are chock full of fun activities to do with your kids, and while the books specify "how to amaze your son/daughter", I found that many of the activities in both books were fairly gender neutral and would work for both boys and girls. That said, there were some obvious differences where I can see the author trying to categorize the books specifically for boys or girls.There is only one completely repeated activity from the How To girls version in this book, and the activities. The single activity that is exactly the same with the same photo art and instructions is the final activity in the book - The Phases of the Moon made from sandwich cookies. There is some overlap in activities, such as the Art of Kokedama, the tee pee, the house under the table, and the ice wreath/archaeologists' ice floe, but I can safely say that most of the activities are completely different. I've included the table of contents below if you're interested in seeing what exactly is in the book.One big difference between the boys and girls version of this book is that the girls version features a lot of doll activities while the boys features activities that involve fire. I don't recall any fire activities in the girl's book, and there certainly were no mentions of dolls in the boys book. This was a little off putting, but I think the author was trying to aim for the majority here - many girls do like dolls and many boys like fire I guess. That was probably my only gripe with these books - but that said, there are a lot of activities in the boys book which some would categorize as "girl activities" such as sewing (shark pencil case) and baking (all the many cakes), and there were many activities in the girls book that would some would categorize as "boy activities" such as playing with rubber eggs or performing magic tricks (water upside down trick). I let my kids know that the title of the book meant nothing - it probably would have done the author good to simply name the books "How to Amaze Your Kids, book 1 and 2".The Sons book had one activity that I felt should have been removed from the list - the Drum Set made from small tin cans. Activity has one part where you're to make cymbals from the cut lids of tin cans. Now I don't know about you, but I cut myself on a tin an edge before and it hurts like crazy. If your kid tries to make, or is playing with this drum set, chances are they'll get hurt.The activities in the book were overall very good - the difficulty level ranged from very simple to "you will probably be making most of the project". We tried out a few and both kids really enjoyed the projects. The book is full of beautiful photographs and simple, but accurate, instructions. Many of the items to complete the projects you can find in your house and don't require special purchases. This is actually quite a nice book to add to the craft shelf. The kids are already asking when we can do another project from here!Table of Contents3D HAND that's easy to drawLITTLE MEN made from sprouted potatoesA STAR BOX made from a cola bottleTURNING A WALK INTO ART simple and freeRETOUCHED PHOTOS or what if we drew on my little brother?THE ART OF KOKEDAMA hanging Japanese gardensAN ALPHABETICAL SHELF made from yogurt containersBALLS OF ICE lit from the insideDECORATIONS AND OTHER LITTLE PRECIOUS THINGSA SMALL MYSTERIOUS DOOR that hides and electrical outletA FLYING FISH made from a sprouted onionA BOOK WITH A SECRET HIDING PLACE that dates back to a time of real treasuresA PEANUT TROPHY for vegetarian huntersA FRUIT CRATE TREE HOUSE perched in a stalk of broccoliA SHARK PENCIL CASE with metal teethMINIATURE CHAIRS made from champagne corksA DRUM KIT made from small tin cansA DREAM CATCHER personalizedTWO KINDS OF SURPRISE BOXES the disguised cans/a box of chocolates with no chocolateA GHOST made from starched fabricFOR PLAYINGA MUMMY contortionistA TREE HOUSE made of cardboardMULTICOLORED MADELEINES made from wax crayonsA TEEPEE made from an old sheetAN ICE WREATH from prehistoric timesA BALLOON ROCKET with a secret messageA HOUSE UNDER THE TABLE made with paper tableclothsA TINY HOUSE made from a grapefruitTHE GAME OF MOLKKY a cross between bowling and bocceA CATAPULT made from popsicle sticksA JUNGLE CAVE made with rock paperEXPERIMENTS AND MAGIC TRICKSA LITTLE CHEMISTS CRATERS an experiment with baking sodaAN ICEBERG made of microwaved soapA MAGICAL MERRY GO ROUND of matches that rise by themselvesFIRE THAT DRINKS WATER or an experiment that reveals submerged treasureFAKE SNOW made from shaving cream and corn starchBETTER THAN CANDLES for a birthday cakeAN EXPERIMENT WHERE A CABBAGE LEAF changes colorSEPARATING YOLK FROM THE WHITE with the help of a bottleCANDLE MADE FROM A CLEMENTINE with no wick or wax - and it smells greatAND YOU CAN EAT IT!PLAYMOBIL ICE POPS that can stand upHONEY PANCAKES shaped like beesCHOCOLATE CROISSANTS rolled in five minutesCOCKTAIL DECORATIONS made of apples for the kids' happy hourA BALL FOREST with surprises insideA LANDSCAPE CRACKER that you're allowed to breakCHEESE LOLLIPOPS guaranteed to be sugar freeA MOBILE MADE OF CHEESE DOILIES to eat with no handsBABYBEL FAMILY or sculptures you can eatSPAGHETTI HOT DOGS a food experimentA FORTIFIED CASTLE CAKE made almost entirely of chocolateA MOON CAKE with lychee cratersA CAMPFIRE CAKE with marshmallow embersCAGES MADE OF SPUN SUGAR to decorate a cakeA MOUNTAIN CAKE and its climbersTHE PHASES OF THE MOON made from sandwich cookies
