Have you ever looked at a box, bottle, or jar and imagined it becoming something completely different?
I Made That! That’s Not Trash! is filled with creative projects that transform everyday recyclable materials into fun crafts, games, decorations, and imaginative creations.
Turn jars into colorful sand art, bottles into bird feeders and rafts, old T-shirts into tote bags, paper tubes into display trees, and much more using simple materials you may already have at home.
Along the way, I Wonder… prompts encourage children to think beyond the project and imagine even more ways to reuse everyday items. With plenty of Ideas and Designs pages, young creators can sketch, plan, and record their own inventions as they discover that imagination has no limits.
Whether creating independently or together as a family, That’s Not Trash! encourages curiosity, experimentation, and the joy of seeing new possibilities in ordinary things.
Because sometimes the best projects begin with something others might throw away.
