Klutz Book of Animation Blog Tour (stop #5) And Giveaway!
Winner is Jonathan Ezor!!
My kids and I enjoy Klutz books because they allow us to learn new and child friendly activities in a fun and engaging way.
The Klutz activity books also help me be the "craft/hobby" mom I always wanted to be! How else would I know how to make a solar car?
Because of my prior fun experience with Klutz, I was excited to be asked to host stop #5 (and a giveaway) in the Klutz Book of Animation - 16 stop blog tour.

I would use them with my kids. Especially the animation one. I have a couple of emerging drawers and I think they would be really interested in how to make animation. Especially my 7yo autistic kid. I think that would be right up his alley.

After giving each a walk thru, I'd share them with my nephews who live for things like this. I mean they own every color of duct tape ever made. They are home schooled and love any type of do-it-yourself activity. My sister would appreciate something that doesn't involve self made mud!

My mom's friend has two twin girls that love these type of things, so I'd save it for their birthday or christmas.

I've got three kids, all of whom are creative (and the oldest of whom has already gotten into animation). They'd all find fun and valuable info in these books! {Jonathan}

My sons have been talking for a couple years now about the star wars Lego movie they plan to make together.... Now just for the tools to do it!?

I would love to use them with my kids who will then share their masterpieces with their grandparents to brighten up their days. Klutz "craft" time will be huge motivation for the kids to get their homework done, and also will be nice family time for us. Thank you for the great offer!

My son has started playing around with animation a little on his own -- this book would really fuel his interest and give him helpful guidance! Thanks for the chance to win!
