Bottle Cap Activities : Recycled Crafts for All Ages [Paperback]

Kathy Cisneros (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

From simple to sophisticated crafts, these innovatively creative projects are made of non-recyclable plastic bottlecaps! These free materials, when re-used into ingenious craft projects, are kept out of landfills and thus reduce pollution, which makes them a great lead-in for environmental science lessons -- or just for fun! These wonderful ideas are versatile enough for use in classrooms, parties, summer camps, boy and girl scout troops, projects at home, and even senior citizen homes. Also included is the musical play "The Bottle Cap Kids" performed at Disney World, with words, sheet music, and instructions for the costume making: even the costumes are made of bottlecaps! Activities include Bottlecap Barnyard, Bottlecap Band, a calendar of seasonal bottlecap crafts, and a variety of other fun environmental crafts.

this book is appealing in so many ways. every page is filled with memorable characters, projects, ideas so simple they sublimely surpass genius. the concept of turning something as trite as a plastic cap into the hub of craft and artistry for every kid age 1 to 100 is something to be applauded, noticed, and continued-Kathy Cisneros is the one to represent us all in such a fun and intelligently entertaining way. thumbs way up for this crown of a cap of a book!plus-wonderful plays for schools across the states!!!-what more can one wish for.
