Rubbish?

What can we do with all this stuff that nobody wants? This lively picture book shows very young children that recycling can be fun!

From pine cones on the grass to old coat- hangers in the cupboard, from empty cardboard boxes to unwanted curtains, used wrapping paper, yogurt pots, odd socks, sinks and fallen leaves What can we do with all this stuff that nobody wants?

The Dragonflies nursery know exactly what to do. They are full of creative ideas and love to think up ways in which old things can be made new and useful again. And it's all free!

Dry fir cones become decorative owls. Coat hangers are perfect for mobiles. Paper plates make face masks. An old sink becomes a home for water plants. Odd socks are just right for finger puppets. Worn-out clothes can be cut up for quilt-making. And curtains can become amazing costumes for dressing up.

Just a load of old rubbish? NO!

Pre-school children and their parents, teachers and carers can all get enjoyment and inspiration from the way in which the Dragonfly playgroup children set about transforming all sorts of 'rubbish' into decorative or practical items, or just in happy creative play. Rubbish can be fun!
