In this activity and didactic book, children will both play and learn how to create homemade stuffed animals, their names and characteristics, the reason why they could become extinct and some good habits we can learn in our daily life to prevent this.Step by step, the author explains how to create the stuffed animals by using recycled materials, suchas socks, patches, zippers, buttons and more.
