Description: These awesome, excellent eco-adventures show kids what's happening in nature! With these creative "recycling" ideas, they'll have a ball making sure that nothing goes to waste -- especially if it can make a pot, a painting, or a puppet. After they've enjoyed a day outside scooping up clay and collecting twigs and birchbark, children can turn them into animals, frames, and baskets. "Cool Tool" suggestions even show how to create a sawdust kiln! Birds will happily settle in a gourd birdhouse, and the fabulous facts on bald eagles and grizzly bears will teach kids about the dangers of extinction. Have a burned-out lightbulb? It will shine again as a puppet. And watch what you're throwing out! Have a "trashy" good time turning eggshells into mosaics, beach glass into jewelry, and cornhusks into angels. Old news is good news when newspapers are transformed into papier-mache birds. Bottle gardens, ocean-wave bath salts, lemonade lip gloss, and tin-can marionettes: saving the earth has never been so much fun!
