I have a lot of books on teaching children art, this is the best I've found so far.There a fantastic range of ideas for painting and crafts, they all work - it's so frustrating when you find art projects in books or online that just aren't practical and never end up looking like they say. These are tried and tested. The only small negative is it seems to be made up of three earlier books bolted together, so there is some repetition, but usually this is alternate ideas on what to do with the techniques they show you, so still useful.
