Kids can get ready, get set, and recycle creatively with 50 Ways to Get Your CartOn, an adorable book of projects that reuse and recycle milk and egg cartons. Not only are the crafts cool and funky, but every one—from cute room decorations to great games—saves a little bit of our precious planet. Each imaginative and innovative item helps children see so-called “trash” in a whole new light, and all 50 projects are totally customizable. Plus, the book includes 100% recycled stickers so kids can decorate green too!
This flipbook-size collection of ideas for milk and egg carton craft projects includes nifty creations like “Dudley the Deadly Dragon,” whose serrated teeth are cut from egg cups and wings are traced onto green felt, and a “Cityscape Play Mat,” with buildings constructed from milk cartons. Each of the 50 projects is pictured in cartoon spot art with numbered steps, while stickers feature several of the completed masterpieces. It's a clever little book that will have readers mining the recycling bin. Ages 6-up. (Apr.)
