What is Recycling Things to Make and Do about?

Turn everyday rubbish into something brilliant with this hands-on guide to recycling and crafting. Using items such as old magazines, cardboard tubes, plastic bags and boxes, young makers can create playful projects including dragon puppets, robot collages and useful desk organisers. Clear instructions, simple materials and colourful illustrations make each activity easy to follow. Along the way, children discover how reusing unwanted objects can reduce waste, spark creativity and give ordinary household items a surprising new purpose.
