KIDSKRAFT with Brittany & Brittany, Vol. 3

Brittany and Brittany, a pair of apparently unrelated young girls who share the same first name, are the amiable instructors for this amateur-ish but well-intentioned third entry in a series featuring hands-on instructions for various craft projects. Here, the girls demonstrate how to make a gaily decorated treasure box, a bookmark, a crayon jar (made out of crayons, this project rates a solid "7" on my personal cool scale), and a leather (faux) jar. As is generally the case when a group of non-professionals come up with a good idea, the results here are mixed, at best. The camerawork is uninspired; our copy contained a low but distinct audio buzz; and the hosts-quite realistically-often get caught up in their work, allowing whole stretches to pass sans narration. Superlative titles such as Look What I Made: Paper, Playthings and Gifts (VL-9/90) are much better choices. This one's optional. Aud: E, P. (R. Pitman)
