The Klutz books every ’90s kid lived for

When we look back on the ’90s and reintroduce ourselves to the symbols of this glorious decade, we inevitably conjure up recess time. It was when all ’90s kids flourished, when millennials would freely gush over all the latest trends we wish never ended. One hella fly example: Klutz books.

Chances are that you had that one friend who, after a trip to Barnes & Noble with their parents, came to school with a bulky, off-the-heasy book in their backpack. The second your teacher announced that recess had begun, this friend would unzip their bag with a flourish, pull out a Klutz book, and begin to craft the creations that would inevitably become school-wide trends.

In memory of this artistically nostalgic time in our lives – before Pinterest crafts, if you can believe it – we’ve compiled a list of all the Klutz books we gushed over with our scrunchy-wearing clique. Since you can actually buy these books today, we’re wicked happy to announced that It’s recess time!
