23 The Cosmic Haystack
12/31/93
When Old Mac and Joanna create a haystack filled with discards, the kids think that the haystack "magically" appeared. One by one the kids approach it, and it gives them treasures. Because the kids think it is magic, they cherish their gifts from it (a plastic milk carton, old spoons, cans, etc.) and turn these treasures into special items (a bird feeder, wind chimes, candle holders, etc.). They discover that much of what we discard can be reused in wonderful ways.
