My book is now available. I’m really excited!  “Made to Play” has 35 craft and toy projects, using wood, fabric, and paper, that promote imaginative and creative play.

Here are just a few links for ordering. It’s available world-wide, so if your country is not listed below, you may search the ISBN# 159030912X, or ask your local book store to order it for you. I’ve noticed that some countries will not get it until sometime in November.

Thanks everyone! I hope you like it!

    Congratulations Joel. I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to see it. It is going to be a long wait until October but now I've got a good start to my Christmas shopping.

    Congratulations! I'm glad to hear the news! Are there many projects in the book that haven't been featured on this blog already?

  29. Joel Henriques

    Thanks!! And Spain should be coming soon.

    r8chel – Yes, most of the projects are brand new (over 60%). I can't wait for people to see the new ones! And the projects that have been on the blog have new, unseen photos and also hand drawn illustrations and instructions, so it's going to be pretty cool!

    Looks lovely! Have also enjoyed looking at various projects + art. What age is it suitable for?

  38. Joel Henriques

    Thanks everyone! Yes, we've still got a few more months to go, so it should definitely be available in your country in time to pre-order it. This is just the begging phase.

    storyboxart – It's really got something in there for any age. Some crafts are great for babies. Some are great even for adults. Anyone who wants to play!

    I'm really excited! Are these new ideas, or things that we may have already seen on your blog?

  40. Joel Henriques

    Most everything in the book is new. The few projects that have been on the blog have all new photos, plus instructions accompanied by hand drawn illustrations. So it's going to be pretty fun!

    Dear,

    We would like to talk about your work and book in the Belgian magazine, VW magazine (free magazine, distributed in Belgium). Therefore, we would like to show the cover of the book. Is it possible to send me the visual in hi resolution please.

    Thank you in advance,
    Kind regards,
    Sarah

      It is available for bookstores in Brazil. But the store has to order it. You could go to your favorite one and ask them if they could order it for you. Or look on the internet and see if someone in Brazil is selling it, so you don’t have to pay extra in shipping.

      Thanks!
