Keep your kids' boredom at bay with 35 environmentally-friendly ideas
they'll love to make.
Designed with the environment in mind, this brilliant collection of
craft projects will keep kids entertained for hours. It features
decorations, toys, jewelry, gifts, and more, every one of them
incorporating natural materials--woodland folk are created from pine
cones and seed pods, a length of bark is the base for an animal
painting, and a piece of slate is transformed into a pretty brooch or
badge. The fun ideas range from bark rubbings for budding artists to
herb head flowerpots for junior gardeners and are sure to give kids the
creative bug. Best of all, finding the project materials encourages kids
to get outside! They can gather shells on the beach to make the shell
mice, or collect leaves and twigs on a countryside walk to make a
printed fox wall hanging. Even their own backyard will become an
exciting source of crafty materials.
