Going Wild - Make it Wild

Going Wild – Make it Wild

Make it wild – 101 things to make and do before you grow up provides inspiration for creative activities, natural crafts and outdoor toys from recycled materials.  Does this generation of children really need all those commercial toys or electronic entertainment to have fun? They may think they do, but we suggest having a go at some natural creations. Take time to slow down, let them make things themselves from scratch; they will probably value them more in the long run. Try digging up clay, firing it in a dustbin in your garden and making your own sculptures. Or how about making ice lanterns, natural jewellery or building yourself a go cart from a wooden pallet?
