365 Things to Do with Paper and Cardboard (Usborne Activity Books) (Things to make and do) Paperback – Import, 1 Mar. 2011

The book's pages are in the style of a ring binder, which means the pages lie flat for easy referral. There are plenty of ideas for both boys and girls with simple, but very effective designs and ideas in colour.This book will keep children occupied for hours!

This is a really fantastic book, so good I have purchased another two for presents for friends with toddlers. I am an art teacher with toddler twins, this book is full of so many simple ideas it will keep us good for years. Some are simpler than others and easy to adapt for really young ones while some we will save for the future. It is so visually interesting that the twins often choose it off the shelf for a bed time story and we look through it deciding what we would like to make the following day and make up stories. I have many of the Usborne collection and am a big fan but this one is my favourite so far. Fantastic price for how many resources you get.

Bought and sent as birthday present for 6 year old grandson. Was told it was not very inspiring and mainly for younger children.

This book does require you to draw pictures or shapes free hand from the book which will become less and less you and more and more your child as they grow up. It has lots of lovely craft ideas set across a double page spread and my 2 year old son likes just looking at the pictures as well as trying out some of the more basic craft projects. The book has nice sturdy pages that look like they would withstand years of use and children. This is definitely a book that will grow with your child and can be used for more and more complex craft projects as they get older as well as teaching them a variety of craft techniques along the way.

Book is clear, bright and colourful. Good for a quick simple spur of the moment thing. Maybe make a bug from foil or a torn paper cat. BUT there are really only 125 things. The 365 are made up by , for example, having your torn paper cat facing in a different direction. Lots of the projects are collages; autumn trees, city scene, penguins on ice etc. I will definitely use the book but as mine and my granddaughters artistic abilities aren’t up to much and a lot of the projects rely on arty expressions it may all fall a bit flat

Would recommend it

Satisfactory

Book arrived a couple of hours ago. I suppose it is written/produced for youngsters but I love it. I have discovered that I can draw a rudimentary bird a cat or a dog and loved the Lowry type pictures to make. I doubt if I will ever throw any cardboard/magazines or paper away again. I bought the book to amuse my toddler grandchildren but I think I will wear it out first. Heaven only knows what I will do with all the finished articles. Brilliant book.
