The Marvelous Materials book encourages children and young people to experiment creatively using nothing more than nature’s resources and household biowaste.
How can we teach material wisdom in an inspiring way?
By combining chemistry, materials science, art, and design into hands-on recipes that unleash creativity at home and in school—without harming the environment.
The book features 17 DIY projects made from natural and biodegradable materials.
The exhibition’s miniature house’s interior, decorated with egg-shell ceramics and toilet paper foam, was crafted by Aalto University Junior summer camp participants.
“The creativity and fearless experimentation of children and young people is always inspiring—we adults could learn a lot from them,” says artist and art educator Greta Isola.
