Gr 3-6-Castoff packaging and tableware has never looked better. These books are notable for their clean, colorful design and sharp, attractively styled photos, all in a harmonious palette of colors that varies with every project. Ten crafts per volume include lots of interactive objects, such as games (memory, mancala, a marble run) and a few musical instruments (cardboard tube kazoo, paper plate banjo) along with decorative objects, toys, and gifts. Instructions are straightforward, with a low degree of difficulty. Readers are encouraged to customize their projects by experimenting with decoration and color. Since these crafts require no special skills and can be made with on-hand materials, many could be undertaken with little to no advance preparation, making them ideal for rainy days and spur-of-the-moment playdates. Best in this set is Egg Cartons, for the way the porous cardboard can be wetted and reshaped; less fun is Milk Jugs, because paint has trouble adhering to the plastic. Great jumping-off points for creative kids.α(c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
