Why go to the mall when you can make things at home using materials recycled from around the house?This classic educational and creative text features 125 projects, carefully selected by the author to "develop natural curiosity and selfesteem," and to demonstrate "simple and important concepts that have shaped the cultures of the world."So when a child asks, "What can I do?" you can reply, "Make things! Paper from laundry lint! A bird feeder from clothes hangers! Chocolate pudding finger paintings! Beautiful fish & potato prints! A cardboard box loom that teaches weaving and math! A simple pattern to sew shirts, pants, or dresses!"The author's detailed and delightful drawings fill every page "so that children just starting out and grownups who have missed out can quickly grasp the ideas."
