  • Crafty Ideas from Junk

    Myrna Daitz, Gillian Chapman

    Paperback (Helen Exley Gift Books, Sept. 1, 1997)
    Crafty Ideas from Junk contains over 25 projects for young children of five to ten years, all using scrap materials. Everything in the book can be made from odds and ends found around the house. Children can experiment with cutting and sticking boxes together to make so many different things. They will benefit from the use of scissors, and a great deal of concentration is developed when measuring items. Fitting the different sizes and shapes together helps develop mathematical concepts. When making things with junk the children explore ideas - they reason - judge - and draw conclusions. In fact, they learn to think. Children will benefit from the artistic creations they produce, and they will build confidence. The less creative child need not be distressed if something he or she makes does not turn out correctly, as failures can be discarded at no cost, and started again. Each project comes with step-by-step instructions, list of materials, and hints for parents to help make the project a success. Not only can these projects be used in the home setting, they are also appropriate for use in the traditional classroom setting, daycare and other social settings. Some of the projects include: - Tin can printer - Bedroom name plates - Book ends - Papier Mache Plant Pot - Mad robot - Hand puppets - Board game - Jigsaw puzzles
