Plastic

Fourteen fun and simple plastic-based craft projects, each only five steps, help develop fine motor skills and encourage recycling.

In just five simple steps, children can make fun, memorable crafts out of reusing plastic items we find in our everyday lives. Projects include an octopus, a hairy bug, a puppet theater, and more, to keep or give as gifts to friends.

Fourteen projects in total make clever use of common plastic items like cups, plates, hair curlers, and drinking straws. Children five years and older will develop fine motor skills, feed their creativity, and be encouraged to find new uses for items we often see as disposable.
