{Vlog Review+Giveaway} UNICORN CRAFTS by Isabel Urbina Gallego



Earlier this year at the 2018 Book Expo (BEA) in New York City, one of the books I discovered through reading the Show Daily (A morning hand-out featuring books beings featured that day on the convention show floor) a book entitled UNICORN CRAFTS. It sounded like something we'd enjoy going through with my niece, so I was excited to pick a copy up.

(I held off on posting my review until now so it could be a part of Magic, Myth, and Mischief, and while I put the video up yesterday while it was still September, I didn't have time to do a blog post or a lot of promo for it, so I'll still add it to the event giveaway below, which means you can win this fun book!)

This book is so much fun if you love unicorns or know someone who does. Some of the crafts, such as unicorn slime (our favorite craft we've done so far!) are easy for even young kids to do. Others are more complex and may require a lot of adult help.

With the holidays coming up, if you're crafty and looking for great ideas for the unicorn lover in your life, you want to pick up this book and start making some spectacular one-of-a-kind gifts. There's even a page on how to make a unicorn headband if anyone is dressing up as a unicorn for Halloween! And school just started back up last week, right? There are so many cute crafts for school supplies in this book that will add some fun to the classroom, from unicorn purses to notebooks and pencil cases.

The book is by Isabel , who runs the Spanish YouTube Channel El Mundo de Isa and its English companion Isa's World. Between the two channels, she has almost two million subscribers and frequently posts high quality videos full of adorable crafts!

A second book entitled MERMAID CRAFTS is coming out from Skyhorse Press in June 2019, as well as a book entitled MERMAID FOOD.  I held off on posting my video review until now so I could get it in during Magic, Myth, and Mischief. While  one of the If you want a fun, hilarious picture book, look no further than WE DON'T EAT OUR CLASSMATES by Ryan T. Higgins. Higgins is the author and illustrator of the popular Mother Bruce series--in fact, a new one in the series, SANTA BRUCE, comes out this fall. (I've already seen early concept art and it's already hilarious! Poor Bruce goes outside to shovel snow in his red pants suit and red hat and all the woodland creatures think he's Santa Claus!)

Here's a video taking a look at the book and some of the crafts you'll find inside:


Pick it up for the holidays to give as a gift, or to make gifts to hand out!
