  8. For my little 3 year old !! She loves Whales but hates having her hair done so hopefully this would encourage her to have pretty hair !! xx

  10. It would be for myself since my hair’s just become long enough to put accessories in for the first time in about 10 years!

  12. This would be for my youngest daughter who is starting school in 2 weeks so would make a fab, pressie for her xx

  13. These are so cute! My two and 1/2 year old can’t leave the house without a clippie to complete her look.

  18. id like to give it to my mum – shes the best in the world and never treats herself – always giving to others! x

  21. My daughter loves to clip her hair back and she would adore the sweet whale – thanks for the chance!!

  24. Clipadidoodah would make my day if they chose me. I love little doodah’s and I could definately use some inspiration to doo dah up my hair 🙂

  29. My 17 month old little sister. She’s FINALLY grown enough hair to actually wear clips in it! Although I’d be lying if I said that I wouldn’t have to borrow it on occasion!

  30. OK..I’m a dork…I’d wear it myself. I create activities for a before and after school recreation program and I’d love to win a clip to inspire the kids to make some of their own. I think it would be a highly adaptable craft for my kids and I know they’d just adore them!
    Thanks for your consideration.

  31. Love them all. I would share it with my three year old daughter; who in turn would also share it with her dolls.

  42. I would give it to the mermaid who lives in the pond at the bottom of my garden and it would look great

Book Review Wednesday: 3D Beaded Animal Crafts for Kids

This week’s Book Review Wednesday pick is 3D Beaded Animal Crafts for Kids, and I’ll admit this one is another of those books that makes me pause for a moment and ask, “Does this belong in Jewelry Making, Kids Crafts, or somewhere in between?”

Technically, it is not jewelry in the traditional necklace-and-earrings sense, but it is very much a beading book, and beading skills are such a useful doorway into jewelry making. For kids especially, learning how to thread beads, follow patterns, work with wire, and build little 3D shapes is a brilliant way to develop patience, fine motor skills, and confidence with craft materials.

The cover promises 3D beaded animal crafts for kids, with a focus on cute seed bead animals made with wire. The little fox on the cover is exactly the sort of project that catches attention — bright, cheerful, and very giftable. I can see this being a fun book for crafty kids, tweens, grandparents crafting with children, or even adults who secretly enjoy tiny beaded animals but pretend they are “helping the kids.”

What I like about this type of project is that it gives children a finished piece they can actually be proud of. These are not throwaway crafts. A beaded animal can become a bag charm, keychain, desk buddy, zipper pull, ornament, or little handmade gift. And if you have a child who loves collecting small things, well, prepare yourself — you may soon have an entire zoo made from seed beads.

There is also a nice connection here for beginner jewelry makers. Working with beads and wire in a simple 3D form helps build the same kind of careful hand skills used in beaded jewelry, wire wrapping, charms, and small accessories. So while I would be tempted to cross-post this over on our Kids Crafts section, I still think it earns its place here for anyone wanting beginner-friendly beading projects.

This book would suit kids who already enjoy detailed crafts, families looking for screen-free creative projects, or makers who want small bead projects that are playful rather than overly serious. I would suggest adult help for younger children, especially because seed beads and wire can be fiddly, and nobody needs a craft session ending with beads in the carpet forever. Although, let’s be honest, that may happen anyway.

My Shellie-style take? 3D Beaded Animal Crafts for Kids looks like a fun, colourful and practical beading book for young makers who like cute projects with a real finished result. It is crafty, giftable, a little bit nostalgic, and a lovely stepping stone into more detailed beadwork and jewelry making later on.
