Lessons
in Creativity and Doing Good!
If you are not a grade school teacher, you may not have thought
of using trash as a teaching tool. If you are not an artist
with a penchant for collage or sculpture (or your name isn’t
Bill Nye the Science Guy), you may not have thought about
turning castoff straws into musical instruments, siphons,
or hoses.
Violet, Tigerlily and their scouting pals from Sarah Dillard’s
Mouse Scouts are back in Mouse Scouts Make a Difference
to help parents, kids, and teachers with fun new ideas for
ways to make a difference in the world.
This second little book includes ideas for repurposing bottle
caps, fast-food containers, water bottles, old mouse pads
from Mom’s computer, and—if you’re a mouse—mousetraps
used as rowing machines!
This is makes a lovely giftbook for children with parents
who want their children to think creatively, compassionately,
and universally. It is also a book that may encourage parents
and children everywhere to take scouting more seriously. In
fact, make the two of them the beginnings of a Mouse
Scouts library.
