We are all hearing so much about everything being (or needing to be) green that sometimes we forget the little things matter. That’s where Organic Crafts by Kimberly Monaghan fits in. It’s brimming with 75 earth-friendly art activities for ages 3-9 that use nature for raw materials and inspiration. The projects are designed to entertain young children while teaching them how to appreciate and conserve the Earth. Plus, Organic Crafts includes a “Nature Notes” section that discuss the people, places and inventions that have impacted the natural world. Curious kids can learn more about enbironmental visionaries like James Audubon, or the ways seeds are spread in the wind. An “Earth Action” section closes each chapter, explaining contemporary issues like deforestation and how even kids can help save our planet in accessible, easy-to-understand language. The book is, of course, printed on 100% recycled paper.
