Fun and Easy Crafting with Recycled Materials: 60 Cool Projects That Reimagine Paper Rolls, Egg Cartons, Jars and More!

A very well written book to keep your lil knes engage in fun activities every day.

My eldest recently turned 3 and we decided to introduce her to arts and crafts. We ordered a few different books, and received some as gifts. With this particular book I was wary as the price was on the higher end of the spectrum but the reviews made us go for it.I'm so glad we went through with it, having looked through the others, the ideas were either too limited, far too advanced or just need materials that you have to get from specialist shops (not even hobby shops or Amazon had some of the items), whereas most activities in this book you'll already have in a basic craft set, or in your recycling bin.In the other books we might have found maybe 5-10 things out of 50 that we felt were actually achievable, with this one it's the other way around. So far there's hardly anything that we don't want to do, and the majority of the activities we'd love to do and will keep us busy in the coming months.The activities have detailed instructions, photos for most stages, templates in the back to trace and cut, and ideas on how to improvise. We've built the butterfly bracelets, paper letters and started the prep for the rainbow caterpillar and look forward to working through the others.If anyone asked for a recommendation for a crafts book for a 3-5 year old, this would be my answer every time. No hesitation.

My 9-year daughter loves collecting recyclable materials and turning them into crafts so I bought her this book to help give her some fresh ideas. The book is amazing! My daughter already has over a dozen projects marked in the book to make after her first time looking through it.I love how we already have most of the materials on hand to make most of the projects in the book and how the instructions and pictures are detailed enough that my daughter can easily create the crafts. Since there is such a huge variety of different projects in the book, I know it will keep my daughter's interest for years to come. It's a must-have book for crafty kids and homes!

The book is full of great ideas for kids!!

Great book full of craft ideas to make with recycled materials. Excellent for sparking children's creativity and developing fine motor skills. 100% recommend.

I bought this for my 3 year old who is now 4. She LOVED the book immediately and it has had staying power. We've done almost all the crafts in the book. We love the author's Instagram page too though having a hard copy book for my daughter to go through is a huge plus. She can look at it by herself - and believe me, she has spent HOURS looking at all the pictures. I like that the crafts are simple enough that such a young kid can contribute a lot to them without getting frustrated. There's still a lot I need to do - our glue gun gets lots of use - but that's to be expected.My kid is very young obviously, but I think this would have lots of appeal to much older and more capable kids too. Everything is just so stinking cute.
