110) 47 Recycling Projects For Kids
When I first starting teaching art, I taught over 500 middle schoolers a year on a very limited budget. I learned not to throw anything away. I learned to see every thing as a possible art making material. I became a big fan of the saying "One's man's trash is another man's treasure" and gladly accepted any items people were willing to donate. Giant bags of glass baby food jars, collections of old beat up pots and pans, huge stacks of newspaper, yes please! Once I started looking at everything with the "what could I make with that" eye it became kind of hard to stop. Last year when I left my full time art teaching position to stay home with the girls, I found that I continued to collect materials. I mean how could I let all those cardboard boxes go, they had so much potential. So with all our collected materials we started making stuff, lots of stuff. With Earth Day coming up it seemed like a good time to compile all our trash into treasure projects. I have listed all the projects with the recycled materials we used and the ages that the project might be good for.
