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.
