Reddit reviews Arduino Project Handbook: 25 Practical Projects to Get You Started

I bought this book in January and have been working my way through it. I would heartily recommend it to beginners, it is a great starting point to getting the most out of the Arduino. It gives you ideas to create some nice projects of your own. For example, I have used what it taught me about ultrasonic sensors to create a project which switches on an LED strip when I wave my hand in front of it. I have also used the timer project in the book as a basis to create my own kitchen timer with a dual display.

Arduino, breadboard, two dc motors, motor controller, jumper wires, a hot glue gun, and some random arts and crafts supplies like popsicle sticks, cardboard, etc.

Maybe a book of project ideas, these look good:
