When you learn to awaken your family’s creativity, wonderful things will happen: you’ll make meaningful connections with your children in large and small ways; your children will more often engage in their own creative discoveries; and your family will embrace new ways to relax, play, and grow together. With just the simple tools around you—your imagination, basic art supplies, household objects, and natural materials—you can transform your family life, and have so much more fun!
Amanda Soule has charmed many with her tales of creativity and parenting on her blog, SouleMama. Here she shares ideas and projects with the same warm tone and down-to-earth voice. Perfect for all families, the wide range of projects presented here offers ideas for imaginative play, art and crafts, nature explorations, and family celebrations.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Meggan's Creative Family -
This book is a gift for my daughter, so I am unable to provide a review on the book. But if it is a book she requested, I'm assured it is a good one. The price was right.

As I read this book (in two days, and now I'm starting over again), I just kept thinking, "Wow." Wow because this is simple family living, which I hope to have. Wow because of the peace which seems an underlying theme throughout the ideas and examples. Wow because the photographs, which the author took herself, are stunning. Wow because the projects and ideas, far from anything I'd read or heard before, are doable and exciting. And wow because the author sounds like a best-friend/mentor, gently coaxing and leading to new ideas.
The only thing I thought it was missing was the Daddy side of things - what's his role in all this creating?
Otherwise, exactly (and more than) what I was looking for, and I was surprised by how much of the book I plan to apply immediately! My inspiration wire is hanging as I type :-)
Food for the "Soule" -
This is such a wonderful book!!!! Amanda Soule's book in addition to her blog has feed my "soule" in so many ways. It is truly inspiring. I have always loved being creative, but this book reminds us of the necessity of making the time on a daily basis, to do creative things.
Great book to have! -
Full of great, great ideas!!!!! Much more than a typical arts and crafts kind of book, this book is full of wonderful little ideas to make your kids feel special and part of the family. Things that shout, "I love you and find you worthy". I don't know how else to describe it, I love this book!

For all home decor needs by Star City Home DecorDeceiving - 
I was really looking forward to read this book because I used to visit Amanda's blog and found it inspired and inspiring. I couldn't be more disappointed. It's not a craft book, the few project shown are obvious and not very creative in my opinion. It's not a parenting book either, it repeats the mantra "your children are creative" but does not go beyond (i.e. relate her main idea to psychology or community benefits). In some chapters she will mention "I like to do this with my family" and stops there (does not give more clues so that we can try that idea at home).
This is my opinion, I don't mean to say that many parents cannot find ideas in this book that they can do with their children. In my case, I don't feel inspired by this book and I prefer to re-read the craft books that my parents bought for me when I was a kid, or to check the parenting books in my public library to learn more about the role of creativity in my boy's development.
