Make the same pioneer crafts that Laura did! In her beloved Little House books, Laura Ingalls Wilder tells of her pioneer childhood growing up on the frontier. Because the Ingallses often lived far away from any stores, and because they had little money, Laura and her family had to make most of their own household items, using whatever materials were available. Now, with MY LITTLE HOUSE CRAFTS BOOK, you can share a part of Laura's pioneer days by learning how to make the same things that she and her family made for their little homes on the frontier. Inside this book are easy, step-by-step instructions for 18 crafts taken straight from the pages of Laura's Little House books. All you need to get started are a few simple supplies, and you're on your way to making fun and useful pioneer crafts that you'll cherish forever.

Okay for fans of the series, but there wasn't that much newly described. The quilt blocks and air-castle are the only things I can think of that weren't spelled out in the books, themselves (or simple enough that you could figure it out - button string).

If you're looking for numerous sidekicks to the books, this is fine, but if you want just one good "crafty" book, go with the cookbook.

My mom and I made a corncob doll following the instructions from this book 8 years ago and,to this day,I still get compliments on it.
This is a great book and you won't be disappointed in it if you're a Little House fan.

Instructions were not clear. There are much better books for crafts that are based on pioneers.

Mostly needlework projects for girls- was hoping for a little more variety, especially projects that would also interest boys.
