Planet Earth Projects

Kids can transform ordinary household items into fun-filled science projects with the help of this book -- and an occasional assist from an adult. They'll experience the satisfaction of recycling as well as the thrill of creativity with dozens of charmingly illustrated activities.

Geared toward readers ages 8 and up, these exciting projects range from coloring Easter eggs and building a bird feeder to growing sprouts, herbs, and sunflowers. Kids can mix up a batch of granola, fashion puppets from socks and paper bags, make toys, decorations, and gifts.
