total meltdown during the weeks before Christmas.

Keep the kids busy with Christmas Crafts!

From Marshmallow Snowman to making gift-wrap, these creative ideas will

occupy your children's hands and keep their minds free from too many

visions of sugarplums.

Also, in the book are recipes and craft instructions for Incredible

Edible Ornaments, Ice Cream Treewitches and more to inspire kids of all

ages to get into the kitchen and get creative!
