READY, SET, CREATE!

By Rebecca Spohn. How do you construct a puppet from a spoon? How do you turn an empty pizza box into a turtle spirit shield? Designed to help children learn by doing, this trove of craft activities encourages readers to create everything from toys to treats using an extensive variety of items commonly found around the home—even as they learn the value of reusing and recycling. Each activity features relevant and unusual facts about science, geography, and history; glossary terms; a reading list comprising books relating to the explored subject; and extension activities (including lessons for interactive white boards). Grades K–5. Good Year. 92 pages. ©2012.
