Fun and Easy Crafting with Recycled Materials

Eco-friendly adults can help their kids make cool crafts everyone will love from materials they already have. Egg cartons become flowers, old pool noodles transform into pirate ships and toilet paper rolls become tree trunks. Kimberly McLeod, founder of the popular kids’ crafting blog The Best Ideas for Kids, creates inexpensive projects that upcycle common household objects. From Tin Can Planters and Cereal Box Aquariums to Toilet Paper Roll Flowers and Paper Plate Bunnies, kids will have their hands full with eco- and budget-friendly crafts.
