fun ideas

I originally got this book from the library, liked it so much I think I will buy it. It is a great resource for making creative projects with children. The main theme is turning boxes into all sorts of creative play props (buildings, vehicles, etc.) There are a lot of different projects on different themes. The projects are presented with different levels of complexity plus there are useful adjunct projects suggested as well (including stories to read). This would be great for homeschoolers looking to add another level of learning to a topic.
