A great resource: Beautiful Stuff! Learning With Found Materials by Cathy Weisman Topal and Lella Gandini


Families, collect more items around your home to do these activities!
Here is a list of our favorite items: old keys, buttons, string or ribbon, broken jewelry, foam pieces, colorful beads, shells, rocks, twigs and more!

Do you have other ideas for the beautiful stuff? Please let us know in the comments!
