Play These Games – Book Review

June 20, 2012 by Shellie Wilson

Play These Games RRP $14 – 101 Delightful Diversions Using Everyday Items by Heather Swain.

I was a little hesitant in allowing my kids to read this book as I hate hearing the dreaded “Can we make this” sentence/alarm every other page.  But it is filled with things that are easy to find , affordable and you don’t need to write out a shopping list just to make a paper Airplane.  We did manage to write down lots of games/activities for a few upcoming birthday parties which will be fun. This book is like a scouts first aid book, its classic and you just have to have it on hand.
