Is there a book full of this type of stuff that would be useful with young children?

Not exactly but YES!

One of my favorite books is Steven Caney's "Play"

https://www.amazon.com/Steven-Caneys-Playbook-Caney/dp/09111...

From an older edition, one of many projects was making a hammock out of old 6-pack rings. For many years, the plastic used in these rings is designed to degrade, but at the time the book was written it would have worked.

Matt Parker's "Things to Make and Do in the Fourth Dimension" is a good one too: https://www.amazon.com/Things-Make-Do-Fourth-Dimension-ebook...
