'Unboxed: Adventures in Cardboard' Book by Eleanor Ford

MKUB-BOOK

Regular price $39.00
/
GST Included.

This beautifully-presented hardbound book from Adelaide, Australia-based author and publisher, Eleanor Ford, is about using what you have to create something new. To be specific, it's about using cardboard boxes to make sustainable, cool creations that inspire creative STEM/STEAM play, encourage problem solving, and develop a sense of imaginative possibility! 

In a world of finite resources and growing consumption, we want to encourage the creative use of simple, recycled materials, like the humble cardboard box, to create play. Encouraging the re-purposing of what we already have is not only great for our planet, it also requires creative thinking to see new possibilities beyond the original purpose, helping young thinkers become the resourceful inventors of the future.

Perfect for early years or primary school classroom use, or at home.
