Okay, so I know I will probably get yelled at just for the title of this blog post, let alone my positive review of Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction 2.

On one hand, I can imagine older boys making these projects and using them on each other despite the author repeatedly warning not to use them on people or animals. On the other hand, it is hard to find craft projects that will interest older boys as these wo... Books About How-To Paper Mache -

Federal Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 - Great letter from Sasha Houston Brown to Urban Outfitters regarding their violation of the Federal Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 and the Federal Trade Commission Act.

Walmart to Sell Handcrafted Arts and Crafts From Third World - There is too much in this article that I don't want to provide just a summary. You really need to read it yourself in its entirety.
