5.0 out of 5 stars Saving Junk, I can do., June 8, 2000
This review is from: Good Earth Art: Environmental Art for Kids (Bright Ideas for Learning) (Paperback)
Environmental Art for Kids, the sub-title. I like that. But what does it mean? This book takes kids outdoors to collect "stuff" from nature, like leaves and pinecones, or indoors to collect "stuff" like envelopes and newspaper. Once collected, there are about 150 projects for open-ended things to make with them. I especially liked making a "leaf burst" with supple autumn leaves and paint. I tried it and it's beautiful, just like the book says. Easy too. I also like the page layout...one big idea per page, book stays open nicely, great icons to help with other decisions to be made like how difficult and so forth. And can you believe it gives recipes for making your own homemade paste, glue, yarn, and chalk? Even how to build a kiln outside and bake your own clay, dry your own flowers. This is a pretty nice book for parents or teachers, camps, or any one who likes kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, December 8, 2009

This review is from: Good Earth Art: Environmental Art for Kids (Bright Ideas for Learning) (Paperback)
I borrowed a copy of this book from the library when my kids were young and we loved it so much, we borrowed it several times! There are projects for kids of all ages, so even the littlest child can create things. And the recommended materials list consists primarily of things you can find around your house or yard, so there's no need to plan a shopping trip first. The best part is that the kids can participate in the hunt for the materials, so each project can be two activities in one! Though my kids are now much older now, I just had to buy this book so that when kids come to visit, there'll always be something fun for them to do!

This review is from: Good Earth Art: Environmental Art for Kids (Bright Ideas for Learning) (Paperback)
This book rocks! I am childcare provider and these "recipes" are totally awesome! The book gives great instructions and ideas and most of them are inexpensive and easy to do! These art projects are good for both the kiddo you might take care of as well as the kiddo inside! I totally recommend it for anyone looking to do more "green art"!
