The Double-Daring Book for Girls

Reviewed for MotherTalk
I wrote about the first Daring Book for Girls here, and was excited to get a copy of their follow-up. It is again chock-full of even more fun stuff to do with girls (or boys, for that matter), everything from being a private eye to turning your backyard into a farm. OK, maybe those are two of the more ambitious activities… but there are also articles about stargazing, dominoes, “what to do when you’re bored” and more.
This go-round, MotherTalk is having a “book shower” rather than series of reviews. We are asked to pick a topic in the book and challenge other readers to do the activity along with us (perhaps in the spirit of friendly competition).

I’m stumped…can’t wait to see the pix.
Posted photos! (For those who read comments via RSS and might not see the updated post)
I totally used the walk through paper thing for a children’s sermon on Easter of 2005–not original to me, it was suggested on some website. It is an very cool way to get people to rethink assumptions.
And I love the pix!
Way cool!
