Easy decorating for beginners
This book is full of great ideas for kid birthdays.I am a novice cake decorator and these recipes made it very easy to create a homemade cake that looks great.My 3 year old loved the racetrack cake.I highly recommend this book for beginners like me.

Book has good ideas
But it isn't as creative as I would like it to be. A lot of the cakes seem to be ways to decorate a regularly shaped cake or cupcakes with special candies, etc. I was really looking for a book with more ideas of ways to cut round and rectangle cakes to make 3-dimensional/more original cakes.

The instructions are good. Would also prefer if the pictures were more professional looking. I'm not a great decorator, but on some pages I think I could have done a better job than the decorator for the book.

Cool Cakes & cupcakes foryour child's birthday or party!
Family Fun Magazine is awesome and here is sorta the best of the best of their ideas for the most creative and cool looking cakes that will make the supermarket pre-bought cakes look blah! Don't get me wrong, in a pinch or if you don't have the time, they are OK. These cakes are not that hard to make and will give your children the "wow, that's cool" and other parents and adults - "Who made this? Wow you made it, I gotta have the receipe for my.....!"

What is also nice is that some of the cakes have matching themed cupcakes, there are also ideas from other parents, and ideas for what you can also do themed wise for your party. Each cake has a very nice color photo, how you need to cut the cakes to make a certain shape,easy instructions.

There are cakes & cupcakes for both girls & boys from pre-school age to teen years.For boys there is a Dump Truck, a Bowlingpin & ball, Volcano, and Pirate Ship cake.For girls - Pink Pony head, Garden cake with flower cupcakes, and for teens and adults the hawaiian Beach Cake, Pizza, Burger & Hot dog cake & cupcakes just to name a few. My God-daughter had her friends over for the night and they made the Sleepover cake. It was a huge hit, the girls had lots of fun making it, took lots of photos with the cake and enjoyed every bite!

You just can't go wrong with this or any other book by FamilyFun book or for monthly children's ideas subscribe to FamilyFun's monthly magazine! You'll love it and your children will also enjoy it!

Fabulous..and a must have cookbook
This book is terrific. It has wonderful cakes to make for
children's parties. I already had several basic cake

It is my number one go to book when I am about to make a cake for a child's party. A definite must have for every family with children. ... Read more

It is a well-organized and indexed guide to playing many types of active games with the goal of fun and fitness for every member of the family.

The adorable black and white photos of laughing children throughout the book make the games look enticing. The book is a MUST!

Active Family Fun
An excellent activity resource for kids and adults. With just a glance at the game chart,you have an appropriate activity in under a minute. I especially liked the chatty, easy way the information was relayed - like a personal conversation and good advice from your best friend.

Fitness the way it used to be done
This book brought back memories of when I was a child.My friends and I used to play many of the games listed in the book.It's an excellent way to get exercise, have fun, and spend time with friends and family.Today's kids spend far too much time on sedentary activities, usually involving a computer!Ms. Kennedy has provided us with an interesting, organized, and informative resource for family fun, recreation, and exercise!I would especially reccommend this book for those with young children.Start early to develop good habits! ...

Virginia info is great
I checked this book out of the library to discover more things to do with my preschooler.I live in Virginia, but grew up on the west coast so I wanted a resource to help me find age appropriate day trips that our family could take.This guide was organized well and the information was helpful.I am also looking at the New England book in the series because we'll be moving again soon.Reading these kinds of books is a great way to discover fun, inexpensive things to do as a family besides going to the mall. ...
