Crafts from Trash
A Fun Way to Recycle with Toddlers
By Donna Stone
Set up the play town on the floor or tabletop. Let your child drive his cars or walk his toys through the town he helped create!
You will need:
Cut out small pictures of flowers or other decorative pictures from magazines or greeting cards for your toddler. Help him glue the pictures and bits of lace onto the tea dividers. Add stickers and a message if desired. When done, cover the bookmark with clear shelf paper or laminating sheets. Trim the edges and punch a hole in the center near the top of the bookmark. Thread a ribbon through the hole. What a fun way to get your child wanting to read!
You will need:
Put some modeling clay or play dough into the bottom of a Styrofoam drinking cup. Cut the cup sections of the egg carton apart and cut petals in the cups so that they resemble tulips. Poke the pipe cleaner through the bottom center of your flower. Poke the other end of the pipe cleaner into the modeling clay in the drinking cup. Enjoy!
