Convert old CDs into shiny fishes and turtles, make a mobile from yarn and a disposable pie pan, and transform empty egg cartons into caterpillars Dozens of simple projects offer hours of inventive fun with ordinary household items.
Geared toward children ages 3 to 8, these projects feature easy-to-reproduce patterns and detailed, well-illustrated instructions. Each project includes a list of materials, most of which are as common as scissors and glue. Playful activities such as transforming a paper plate into a funny frog and making a butterfly from a cardboard tube help develop creative skills and encourage kids to explore the imaginative possibilities of everyday objects.
