FANTASTIC FOOD BOXES You’ll never look at a cereal, snack, or pizza box the same after you see some of the fun activities in Recycle and Play. Create a fun bean toss game from a pizza box, transform a cereal box into a fun elephant feeding game, or relive your childhood with ravenous hippos. Make characters come alive, practice dexterity, and learn shapes all while having fun with boxes. CREATIVE CARDBOARD CREATIONS Cardboard is one of the most fun and versatile recyclable materials out there. Cardboard can be a blank canvas for creating anything you want and imagine. Making puzzles is one of our favorite ways to create with cardboard. Make it more challenging by tracing lines and shapes, incorporating early math, or talking to kids about emotions. PLAYFUL PAPER TUBE PROJECTS With the humble paper tube, you can make one of your favorite animals and practice learning colors and threading. You can zoom around with paper tube cars in a paper tube garage or hone cutting skills by creating crazy haircuts. PAPER TUBE CATERPILLAR THREADING This rainbow caterpillar can teach kids colors and also makes a fun and easy yarn activity. The shapes of the tubes are large enough so that yarn can easily go through. Kids can focus on learning the motion and movement of how to thread from one tube to another while practicing their fine motor skills. BEST BUBBLE WRAP PLAY Bubble wrap is one of the most fun and tactile recycled items to create with. Kids are naturally drawn to the squishy bubbles and the fun texture. And who doesn’t love popping bubble wrap? Its unique sensory feel makes it an ideal material for creating a beautiful mess-free painting, doing stamping activities such as bubble wrap animals, or making clothespin butterflies for textured wings and numbers. CAPTIVATING LID AND CAP ACTIVITIES How many lids do you have just lying around the house? Don’t let them go to waste. Use them for this fun turtle activity instead. Turn the lids into turtle shells that are bright and colorful. Then, add on the colored dots to help the kids match up the colors and also work on their counting skills. Slow and steady is a good mantra when working with the kids on counting. BREATHTAKING BOTTLE IDEAS Many people toss a bottle into the recycling bin, but we see endless creative possibilities with them. Bottles are empty containers waiting to turn into the most playful characters, like our unicorn bottle. They can be stuffed to pretend-feed pigs. Or they can become a fun vehicle for games such as a pompom launcher, which helps children practice the push and pull motions. MARVELOUS MILK CARTONS AND JUGS Milk cartons and jugs are so fun because of their playful shapes. Turn cartons into school buses and help with the recognition of familiar family faces. The shape of a carton also looks like a roof, so you have a natural canvas for making milk carton houses to learn shapes. You can also use the natural large cavity of a jug to create a fun sloth toss game.

The plot was so well-paced that I lost track of time while reading. I was completely immersed in the story, eagerly turning the pages to uncover the next twist.

The characters in this book felt like old friends, and I was sad to say goodbye to them at the end. It's a testament to the author's talent for creating memorable and relatable personas.
