What Can You Do with an Old Red Shoe?: A Green Activity Book about Reuse Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

What can Ruby do with her old red shoe? Use it as a planter for pansies! In this “green” craft book, children can appreciate that recycling is a part of everyday life, and with a little creativity, exciting projects are only a few steps away. Turn a worn flip-flop into an art stamp, a ripped shower curtain into an apron, and an old T-shirt into a pillow. These activities are just a few of the many crafts to be explored.  With easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, this interactive book will challenge kids to come up with clever recycling ideas of their own.

Review:

Praise for WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH AN OLD RED SHOE?: “Recycling becomes lots of fun in this sprightly activity book… what really makes this a standout is Alters adorable artwork featuring a coterie of animals at work and play.”--Booklist
