Hi, Georgette  9/17/2008

You have got to look at everything on Arvind Gupta's site, Toys from Trash
http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/toys.html

He works with a small Children's Science Center in India and makes 
ingenious use of recycled materials to make toys and 
science/engineering experiments.
His email is:  "arvind gupta" <[log in to unmask]>

Wonderful photos of the kids, too.
