Earth Day was Sunday, so we talked a little today about keeping our Earth clean and how to recycle, reuse and reduce waste. And then we went on a walk to see if we could clean up around us.....so they found a partner and a bag and went to work finding trash.
There was some great teamwork going on with all 6 of them.....one would hold the bag open and the other would put the trash in!
We looked at all the beauty around us......flowers, trees, gardens growing, birds singing, bright sun shining and the clear blue skies.....perfect day to spend outside enjoying the beautiful earth that God created!
And then we painted using some recylced pop bottles. We dipped the bottom in some paint and the kids stamped them on their paper to look like flowers.
It's amazing some things you can reuse if you just get creative or look on Pinterest!
Make a scoop or watering can out of an old milk jug.
Use lids for stamping circles or make a caterpillar.
Shape a paper towel roll into a heart shape to stamp with.
Juice can lids into ornaments or gift tags.
Egg cartons can be painted to look like caterpillars or cut apart to make flowers or cups.
Spray paint old jars or vases.....decorate with tissue paper and watered down glue.
Cut out pictures out of magazines to make a collage.
Take recyclables and make a robot, collage, or an abstract piece of art.
Endless possibilities!!!
