Teaching kids at a young age what it means to reduce-reuse-and-recycle is always something taught in school but to really drive the point home, it's important to incorporate those things into real life. Here are a couple of great crafts to do with kids to show them ways to recycle bottles into something fun and useful.
Ages 9+: Ashley over at Make-It-&-Love-It made this awesome cell phone caddy out of a lotion bottle. This craft would be great for older kids, especially those just getting their first cell phones or iPods.
Ages 5+: This awesome bowling set made by CreativeDish would be perfect for kids old enough to wield a glue gun and is a great way to keep 10 bottles out of a landfill!
Ages2+: And finally, check out this "lava lamp" made by Rainbows & Unicorns (great name by the way!) made with a plastic bottle, oil, water, food coloring and complete with sea creatures! This is a wonderful project for little ones- also consider throwing in some glitter or sequins!
Happy Friday!!!
