50 Fantastic Ideas for Found Materials by Sally Featherstone

The 50 Fantastic Ideas series is packed full of fun, original, skills-based activities for Early Years practitioners to use with children aged 0-5. Each activity features step-by-step guidance, a list of resources, and a detailed explanation of the skills children will learn. Creative, simple, and highly effective, this series is a must-have for every Early Years setting.

Children love constructing models and other objects, and working with found and recycled materials has a firm and continuing place in the early years, encouraging children to be imaginative and creative as they practice their skills in joining, wrapping, bending and cutting. These materials that are often free or low cost, are available everywhere, waiting for imaginative practitioners to find and use them.

This book gives you 50 ideas for using free, cheap and recycled materials in your setting, both for creative and independent play and for specific projects. The resources suggested are all easily available, and the ideas are only starters for the continuing interest children have in this sort of work.

Any learning environment, home, classroom, nursery or staff room would be all the richer for having a set of these books on their shelves for reference* Early Years Educator *
Infant teachers have always made good use of the free resources which abound and this book is full of inventive ideas to extend that. The book is full of practical suggestions stemming from the authors' long experience. -- Sarah Brew * Parents in Touch *
