Scrap Fun for Everyone,
I had the absolute pleasure of living next door to the wonderful Evelyn Glantz Hershoff in Brooklyn, where she babysat me many many times. I think I made almost every item in this book. She could do anything with any scrap of paper or item around the house. This is a great rainy day idea book and a great book for teachers to use for classroom ideas. Evelyn was an extroadinary person as well as a teacher, and I miss her dearly and think of her often

|so many fun ideas,
I recently came across this book and am amazed!! So many ideas for all kinds of scrap stuff and so many different skill levels. All the different craft tips online, or the tv shows, or magazines are nothing compared to what’s in this book. sheer genius and creativity! Not only is this great for activities in school or seniors, it’s also a fun way to recycle, and can help you “make do” in a pinch. Just the very next day after i read this, i was thirsty, but without a water bottle… thanks to Ms. Hershoff, i knew how to make a cup from a piece of paper and was saved!

|The wonderful Evelyn,
I was lucky enough to live next door to the wonderful Evelyn Hershoff in our building on Avenue R in Brooklyn. Evelyn was a school teacher and had a fabulous sense of humor and was extremely creative. She gave my mother this book for me for my first birthday in 1956, and I have it to this day.
There is a world of fun in this book, and everything used in the projects can be found in your home.
This book has kept me very busy as a child, entertained my son, and I now use it in my early childhood class.
This is a gem, and I highly recommend it to any and everyone.
Evelyn and her husband Hy are long gone, but Evelyn’s joy and delight lives on through this book and myself.
