Crafting is so much fun but did you know that it can sometimes create excess waste that is not good for our planet For this imaginative collection of projects, most of what you need is already in your recycling box, but for other supplies there is a handy guide on what gets a planet-friendly thumbs up and what to avoid. Throughout the book, you'll find facts, tips and handy hints on how to be a crafty eco-warrior. There are also special information sections dotted throughout covering tips and ideas for climate activism and an overview of the main climate issues we face. Projects include: bear plant pots, shirt scrunchies, beeswax lunch bags, DIY paint and egg carton crown. AUTHORS: Laura Minter and Tia Williams are two creative mums based in Sussex, UK. They started Little Button Diaries, their award-winning crafting and baking blog in 2013 to show that having children doesn't mean you have to stop doing the things you love.

This book encourages you to be creative and to think outside of the box, which is always good! It inspires you to keep hold of your recycling and to make use of it.

"The Eco Craft Book by Laura Winter and Tia Williams @littlebuttondiaries is my new FAVOURITE craft book. There are lots of these sorts of books on the market but this one is streets ahead of the rest. The crafts are brilliant, and so easy for my older two to do on their own with their clear instructions and brilliant photos... such inventive ideas for us to get our teeth stuck into! Perfect for the upcoming half term... They have written a number of other books that look just as superb!"
