Cardboard Creations for Kids

Ages 3 And Up

Parents and caregivers everywhere can make easy cardboard projects using recycled materials that will provide hours of eco-friendly fun for children.

At last, a genius way for families to put all that cardboard lying around the house to good use! This incredible collection features 60 innovative projects made from recycled cardboard, ranging from toys and imaginative play ideas to decorations and adornments. These cardboard activities are quick and easy for the adults to make, but guarantee hours of fun for the kids as they activate their imaginations and hone their artistic flair.

Caregivers can encourage their children to explore their environment and promote a no-waste lifestyle with dynamic toys like Mini Monster Trucks, Retro Caravans and Flying UFOs that require no specialty materials. Imaginative crafts use cardboard in new ways, such as Llama Finger Puppets, where your child’s fingers become the llama’s legs, and Shadow Puppet Theater, which gives kids a chance to put on a show for their friends.

With this book, parents will be delighted to find eco-friendly ways to reuse cardboard—and even more delighted to see their children’s imaginations run wild as they play with their recycled creations and reap all the wonderful rewards of creative play.

This book contains 60 projects and 60 photos, plus step-by-steps.
