    Very inspiring thought. I myself save all those things you mentioned but have no idea what I will do with those. My grandkids are two and four, so I might make a fodder box and create objects for them to play with. Thank you very much.

    I hope you have had a chance to do so. There is just so much plastic and general stuff that is left over in our world these days. It is nice to see them be used to inspire a child's imagination.

    I think hot silicon glue is not a good idea when working with the kids, at least in my elementary school.

    Absolutely! We never recommend using a hot glue gun for young children and even when working with older children I always recommend adult supervision. If I didn't mention that in this lesson I certainly do later. I was using hot glue for the expediency of the video. But for young children I would suggest glue dots, glue sticks or even regular white glue. Thanks for pointing that out.
