You’ll need:
• Small scraps of wood
• Wood glue
• Sand paper
• Paint
• Empty thread spools
• Yarn
• Cloth
Here’s how:
This activity is a great way to teach children about recycling and reusing.
Collect small scraps of wood in various shapes. (Home improvement stores
will probably have some for little or no charge.) Let your child glue the
scraps together to create an interesting-shaped structure. Allow it to dry
overnight. Your child can paint and decorate (using empty thread spools,
cloth, yarn) the structure. Display the creation in a special place so that
your child knows that you are proud of his/her efforts. For a more involved
project, your child might enjoy using sandpaper to sand the wood before
assembling and gluing. Children will have fun learning to make something
new out of something old.
