Children can do a lot to save the environment when shown how to properly reduce, recycle and reuse. Crafts are best way to give kids a few lessons in recycling and reusing stuff that normal would be headed to the trash bin. Transform discarded puzzle pieces into a fun picture frame. Makeover cardboard tubes into a pretend campfire. Give coffee filters new life as sunflowers. And see ladybugs where there were once egg carton.
