From the Author
It was lots of fun coming up with recycling projects!
I wrote this book when I was a beginning teacher, and needed to come up with tons of things for kids to do without spending much money. I'm an eager environmentalist, as well, so doing the nature and recycling crafts made me feel like I was doing something positive for everyone. I hope kids enjoy the projects!

Excellent resource for many fascinating projects.
This book is filled with explicit instructions on many facinating projects. It is clear, concise and easy to understand. Excellent resource for children and teachers.

Practical instruction and insightful comments-Super!!!!
Laurie, I just finished this book and I really appreciated it. My daughter is soon to be three and I have been wanting to learn more about environmentally friendly ways to teach her about life and our world. This is a super resource for me. Thank you so much!!

Excellent book - simple and effective!
I bought 4 'craft-from-recycling' books recently and this one is by far the best! Projects range from how to make basic materials such as brushes and glues, right up to complex schemes. Illustrations are simple line drawings and the instructions are very clear indeed. Well worth getting for individual, club, or classroom use.
