Playful

“A piñata, like this bright design from Merrilee Liddiard’s new book Playful: Fun Projects to Make With + For Kids, just says Party!” * Redbook *
“I certainly recommend this book if you are looking for fun activities to do with your kids at home.” * Dominique’s Desk *
“Merrilee’s book offers billions of ideas that are surprisingly doable, and in a world where we frown upon play and elevate productivity, I admire her bravery to put down the phone and make something with her kids.” * Design for MiniKind *
“Everything about it is scrumptious. Every project, every photo, all the little details. Buy it so you can make fun, imaginative, totally doable projects with your kids. And buy it because the attention to detail will inspire you!” * Design Mom *
“Thankfully, books and supply kits that encourage children to truly create are also available these days. The best of the books—like Merilee Liddiard’s new release, Playful—may provide instructions for creating a dollhouse or a cardboard-and-paint menagerie, but they also promote open-ended arts-making by encouraging parents to keep found objects and recycled materials on hand for kids to use when the mood and inspiration strike.” * Working Mother *
