5 Recycled Crafts - Earth Day Blog Hop

In honor of the Earth Day Blog Hop hosted by Mommy Labs and Greening Sam and Avery, here is a round up of our favorite crafts made from recycled materials!  Link up your own ideas to celebrate Earth Day on April 22 below!

1.  Our racing board is made from recycled cardboard and paper towel tubes.
2.  We made a fun game from a recycled milk jug.
3.  We made a car from old cardboard boxes.
4. Our perpetual calendar is made from bottle caps.  These would make a great chore chart too!
5.  Finally, our reusable activity book isn't made from recycled materials, but is a great way to save paper.


All of these great blogs are sharing an Earth Day craft or activity:

  1. What great ideas! My son would love the Racing Board to use with his cars and other toys! We will be making one of those in the near future to use as one of our outdoor play activities for our blog challenge @ http://famigliaandseoul.blogspot.com/2012/03/challenge-365-days-outdoors.html.
    Thanks for sharing!
