MY THOUGHTS:

I have played Cooking Mama before and when I heard about Crafting Mama, I knew I had to try it.  Crafting Mama is a game where you have to complete craft tasks quickly to move on to the next level.  For my age, I did get a little bored with it, but my 12 year old sister took to it right away and was sad that she didn’t get to keep it.  The game has 40 different projects to tackle and you can even play against another friend (or 3!)  I love though how bright and user-friendly the game is.  I would recommend this to any “Mama” game lover or just a girl who loves crafts, especially without the mess!

BUY IT: You can buy Crafting Mama wherever video games are sold or look for it at Amazon.
