Product Description
"Why go shopping when you can make things at home using materials recycled from around the house? This classic educational and creative text features 125 projects, carefully selected by the author to develop natural curiosity and self-esteem, and to demonstrate simple and important concepts that have shaped the cultures of the world. The delightfully illustrated projects include: a bird feeder from clothes hangers; chocolate pudding finger paintings; beautiful fish and potato prints; a cardboard box loom that teaches weaving and maths; a simple pattern to sew shirts, trousers or dresses."
