Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7-An outstanding craft book that offers clear directions for more than 50 projects, all made from recycled, reused, or natural materials. Attractive full-color photographs and a readable text describe each step of these fun projects. What makes this title so interesting is the background information provided throughout on ecological and environmental issues. Short success stories of kids who have made a difference in saving planet Earth will inspire readers, as will suggestions on ways for everyone to help protect the environment. There is also a three-page biographical segment on John Muir and his importance to the conservation movement. Addresses of organizations to write to for further information are provided. Many original ideas such as dog-biscuit frames, paper-bag books, and making a kiln from a garbage can make this title a useful addition to most libraries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource - Lots of photos!, April 12, 2000
By IdeaMom (Northeast USA) - See all my reviews
Encourage your children to recycle and care for the environment with this book. It contains 50 ideas using items from nature (stones, sticks, plants, etc.) and recycled materials (cans, paper bags, newspapers, etc.) A few of their eco-friendly ideas include: license plate bird feeder, handprint giftwrap, a wooden house for bats, birch bark canoe, potato print shirts, mosaic flowerpots, sketch and press nature journals, paper bag books, cut and paste bottles and jars, corn husk sunflowers, papier mache pinata and hats, Eco party ideas, bottle gardens, natural cosmetics, and more.

Craft ideas range from easy to more challenging and are appropriate for a variety of age ranges, though elementary and middle school aged students would enjoy them the most. The book is filled with several photographs for each activity making it a hit with visual learners!

In addition to great craft ideas, the book highlights several environmental organizations -- many started by kids -- that are making a difference. This book just might inspire your child or teenager to get involved!
