With a tip from the lovely Shona, I got this book on crafting with recyclables: Make It! by Jane Bull
Yeah, it's fun. We love it! Some of the crafts are a bit difficult for N. at this age, but with a bit of preparation it can be done. These are a couple of the things we've done out of the book.
Cans: kept a couple of cans after cooking; cleaned them out well, made sure nothing was sharp. Got some glittery stickers ready and let her stick them up. She loved doing it and she loves them! Seriously, it was one of the most excited I've ever seen her and she still proudly talks about her marker cans.
Junk mail bowl: She ripped paper and helped apply the home made glue I had previously done in preparation.
What do you do with your recyclables?
