Product Description
From Booklist
Gr. 4-6, younger with help. Ross, author of numerous craft books herself, serves as general editor for this collection of previously published books in the Look What You Can Make With series, which is based on the premise that fun crafts can be created from things found right at home. Popsicle sticks, egg cartons, plastic bottles, and newspapers are among the raw materials used for the more than 600 projects in the eight books here, each book complete with its full selection of "over 80" (in some cases 90) pictured crafts; Schneider's color-photo art (occasionally a bit blurry); the original paper cover, which now sports a labeled tab to make access to each book easy; and an index (there is no general index). Step-by-step instructions are clear, but only a picture of the finished project accompanies them; older children will easily figure out how to manage most of the crafts, but younger grade-schoolers will need both help and supervision. Fun for home or classroom, rain or shine. REVWR

Tons of fun!,
By Kris "stay-at-home mom" (Calgary, AB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Look What You Can Make with Dozens of Household Items! (Spiral-bound)
I've been using this book since my daughter was 2, (she's now 4), and have been able to find crafts suitable for just about any age, and I don't have to go shopping for specific items! We've just finished doing Easter crafts, and they were so easy, they look great, and my kids are proud of what they've accomplished. I like this book so much I've bought a copy for my daughter's preschool.

Great Scott! It's a Tube!,
By F. J. Urkums "teacher for real" (Fort Washington, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Look What You Can Make with Dozens of Household Items! (Spiral-bound)
I teach third grade and love this book. With art gone from the schools, we teachers spend a lot of our own money trying to give kids a sense of creativity. This craft book was just what I needed. I have so many of these household items--wrapping paper tubes, egg cartons, magazines and newspapers--and now my kids and I can create without my having to go back into my purse. Of course, some of the items are a little elementary (no pun intended) for third graders, but there a lot of things in here that we can enjoy. I have a friend whose five-year old fell in love with this book. She sat with me and went through every item. She's so excited about making some of these things. I'm getting a copy for her.

Packed with ideas to last a long, long time!,
By Dawn Day "mom of three girls" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Look What You Can Make with Dozens of Household Items! (Spiral-bound)
My five year-old has spent hours with this book, pouring over the ideas to become inspired to make her own projects. This is a TERRIFIC resource to have on hand. Great pictures are included with multiple ideas so that even a non-reader can get the idea. We absolutely LOVE this book!

Great Resource Book,

This review is from: Look What You Can Make with Dozens of Household Items! (Spiral-bound)
For those that work with pre-school through elementary age children this is a great resource for inexpensive and creative art and crafts. Projects use items that are either low cost or items that can be obtained through recycling. I work with groups of children on a daily basis and find it very helpful.
