Professional Review:
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.

This book embraces a whole new way of living that will engage your children’s imagination, celebrate their achievements, and help you to express love and gratitude for each other as a family.

   Summary: Didn't love it
Do yourself a favor and check out her website before you order this book. If you like the sugesstions and tips she has there then you'll probably enjoy the book. I found it to be way too simplistic. She repeats a mantra of our ancestors being naturally creative because they had to, be creative and your children will be.... Just not what I was looking for.

   Summary: This truly is a FIVE ***** Star book!
I was skeptical about this being a five star book. I am way too busy to think about the tedious creative activities for my kids. This is such a great book. She makes so many valid points and suggestions. I wish I could live up to the bar she has set. Its just not me. But I can still learn alot from her and use many of her ideas to help create a more creative family. I felt like a girlfriend was telling me about what she did with her kids. She seems so real and its a delightful book to read.

   Summary: Wonderful!
I absolutely loved this book and am currently rereading it. It is full of so many wonderful, simple ideas for children and families. I like the idea of simplicity and less is more. It has been a very inspirational book for me and we have already put into practice several of the ideas from the book!

   Summary: Soule's Enthusiasm is inspiring
I read this book pretty much cover to cover the day I got it. Amanda obviously loves being a Mom and her passion for creating shines through while reading this book. The craft projects she provides instructions for are not groundbreaking but they are great starting points to get you thinking. I really enjoyed the last two sections in the book that focused more on how to make the most out of the time you spend with your family. She has some great suggestions for family traditions and exploring nature with your children.

   Summary: Great little book!
I recently ordered this book and love it. It has some great projects to do with your kids, I especially love the nighttime bag--it's a bag you put your kids p.j's in and a book to have ready each evening. I'm working on mine right now and am going to do a little hand embroidery on the front of each--from the Aunt Martha's iron on embroidery patterns to personalize them. The ideas are fun for little ones and older ones alike--there are so many neat and easy activities for them to do...mine span from 2yrs. to 6 so that is important. I also love the section about celebrating little things like when a child learns to ride without training wheels etc. I am still going through this book and can't wait to try more of the ideas with my kids!
