Children may need adult help with the activities as sharp knives, glue
guns and spray paint are involved. Having said that, the projects fire the
imagination and some could be adapted for younger children to enjoy. I
particularly like the Wizard’s Wand,
the Dragon egg pendant and the Dragonhide pouch.
As mentioned, the text is written in Victorian style and lends itself
very well to being read aloud to children. (I can almost hear Stephen Fry
reading it!)
Chris’s website www.dadcando.com is well worth a visit. There are so many great
projects there including printable apothecary labels for your Griffin Bone and Dragon Heartstring bottles and jars.
