Maisy, the colourful, toddler-friendly mouse, wants us to get creative in her latest book.

Make with Maisy is filled with colourful craft projects for young children to make with their parents. These simple but practical ideas make crafting easy and produce toys that kids can engage in imaginative play with. My three year-old and I spent an enjoyable rainy day crafting and playing with things we’d made from the book.

There aren’t many books that give such simple ideas for crafting with toddlers and pre-schoolers, so this is a welcome resource for active play with two- to five-year-olds and their parents.
