1. In celebration of Earth Day, here are some simple crafts that you can make with your child from recycled materials.
2. Making crafts with common household items and “trash” is a great way to introduce young children to the idea of reducing, recycling and reusing. They definitely will appreciate how these objects can be “transformed” into toys, gifts or works of art. Using such materials also trains children to observe their properties and use them effectively in their work. Personally, I always try to use common household items in our crafts because they are “free” (if you intend to discard them) and they allow children to exercise their creativity. In general, you should not have to buy any of the materials for these crafts. Always use alternatives that you do have. Earth Day Crafts
