"It looks like garbage, but it's not! "


As long as they are observant, imaginative and hands-on, every child can be a little maker!
Do you have a creative and energetic child at home?

New toys given to him are always thrown aside after playing with them for a few times, but he carefully collects things that look like garbage, such as empty cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, wrapping paper, plastic bags, old clothes, torn socks, etc., as if they were treasures. He is good at using his hands and brain and his endless imagination to come up with amazing and creative ideas. He is even full of energy and enjoys exploring the infinite possibilities of body movement!

The childlike eyes turn the insignificant little things into colorful creations, and they are unique treasures for children.

  • The plastic buckle of a toast bag can be turned into a fashionable hair accessory
  • Torn socks can be turned into doll clothes
  • Plastic bags can be turned into inflatable balloons
  • An empty cookie box can be turned into a shoulder bag by adding a piece of wool
  • Grandma's old pants can be turned into a mermaid's tail
  • Ten empty plastic bottles are enough for a game of bowling.

I thought I would see in the book "Yes! My child looks like this too." I didn't expect to see "This is a picture of me when I was a kid!" - iamct / Chen Zhiting (famous illustrator and hand-drawn artist)

To stimulate imagination, you don’t need advanced teaching aids or complicated materials. Even small things that are readily available can be magical treasures in the eyes of children! Let’s use limited resources to inspire unlimited creativity! ──Lv Yanhui (Children's book author, art teacher)

"Cherish what you have now and make it even better!" Let us create small joys with our children, and you will find that we all have the ability to create treasures. ──Sister Yanru (host of the program "Fairy Tale Dreamer")
