Meet the author, Krissy Ballinger

I wrote this book for the children in my life, and the children in yours. Children are our future leaders, our future earth-inhabitants. We want them to grow up happy, healthy and inherit a planet that has been well cared for. It’s never too soon to start a conversation about replacing mindsets of convenience and speed with those of longevity and sustainability. And with Make and Play we can explore all this through their language of creativity and play.”

Embracing a More Mindful, Creative, and Eco-Friendly Life

This book will show you, and the children in your life, that their bodies, their planet and their future are precious. Let’s show them that they can have just as much fun with homemade goop and flubber, chalk and paint, as they would with store-bought. Let’s give them the chance to make better choices.
