Look What You Can Make with Household Items

This creative book is easily organized to stimulate creative minds using things easily recycled from items around your house...paper towel tubes, milk cartons, pop cycle sticks, cardboard boxes. Add a bit of glue, some construction paper and some paint and your kids will love the results. You will love that older kids can create and play with things for hours on end w/o much adult involvement. A fabulous resource for ideas if working w/preschool age kids who will enjoy making things w/a little help from an adult. Great resource to be used at home or at school.

For those that work with pre-school through elementary age children this is a great resource for inexpensive and creative art and crafts. Projects use items that are either low cost or items that can be obtained through recycling. I work with groups of children on a daily basis and find it very helpful.

This is a great resouce for a wide range of craft activities; there is something for every age/skill level (elementary) and budget. The full-color illustrations are very helpful.

My five year-old has spent hours with this book, pouring over the ideas to become inspired to make her own projects. This is a TERRIFIC resource to have on hand. Great pictures are included with multiple ideas so that even a non-reader can get the idea. We absolutely LOVE this book!

I teach third grade and love this book. With art gone from the schools, we teachers spend a lot of our own money trying to give kids a sense of creativity. This craft book was just what I needed. I have so many of these household items--wrapping paper tubes, egg cartons, magazines and newspapers--and now my kids and I can create without my having to go back into my purse. Of course, some of the items are a little elementary (no pun intended) for third graders, but there a lot of things in here that we can enjoy. I have a friend whose five-year old fell in love with this book. She sat with me and went through every item. She's so excited about making some of these things. I'm getting a copy for her.
