Assorted Recycled Item Craft Ideas
At The Learning Garden, they created a variety of neat crafts that saw shared by, "The Annoying Birdy," on Facebook. These crafts all use recycled items (like the castle made of cardboard tubes seen above) and can be done in your classroom too!
Milk jug car garage
You can cut-up an old milk jug and after using some markers it has turned into a little house with a garage for your toy cars!
Tissue box boots
Take old tissue boxes, decorate them, and then wear them as fun boots.
Milk Jug Magnifying Glass
With a cardboard tube and a milk jug, you can create a cool magnifying glass.
Matching with paper plates
Take old paper plates, cut them in half, and have them be used for matching numerals and dots of numbers.
