Recycling and reusing
Louise Spilsbury
- Reading
- Read a material section together, then pause before its craft to gather suitable materials and check the steps. Let the reader choose which project to try, or simply explore the ideas without making anything.
- Themes
- Learning through making: Material topics are paired with crafts, including a carton bird feeder, a tin-can figure and a compost caddy. The structure presents making as a way to reinforce learning about materials and their reuse.
- Worth knowing
- Making projects with cartons, tins, glass and other materials may involve practical steps at home. Check the instructions and decide what preparation or supervision each activity needs before starting.
