Recycle Bin Activities – Weekly Kids Co-op #3

We love creating from our recycle bin.  Here is a fun round-up of creative ideas straight from the recycle bin.

Recycle Bin Activities

Check out these fun Recycle Bin Activities from last week’s Kids Co-op

  • How cute are these little Glass Jar Lanterns from Buggy and Buddy.  The beaded handles are so cute!
  • My kids would love to make these cute Homemade Christmas Rhythm Instruments from the Home Learning Journey.  Make enough for your entire family and have a backyard parade.
  • Don’t throw your tinfoil away after supper.  Instead give it a wash and try this fun Pin Poking on Foil activity from Learners in Bloom.
  • Make your own Recycled Paint Palette from My Little Bookcase.  We love using egg cartons for paint trays at our house.
  • My kids have been asking for a while to try Writing with Feather Quills.  Check out this simple tutorial from Simple and Joyful.
  • Head on over to Blog Me Mom to find out what crafting supply makes these Glitter Paper Tubes so simple to make.
  • Do you have a set of foam blocks lurking in the back of your toy bin?  Why not try this fun Shape Stamping Activity from Mommy Musings and Mayhem!
  • I love these simple Button Stamps from Keeping My Toddler Entertained.  How cute would your wrapping paper look covered in sweet button prints!

If you were featured this week, I would love for you to grab a Housing A Forest button. Come back every Thursday to see if your creative idea were featured and link up any new ideas! (I will be using one image and a link to your blog.)

    I love your choices from the Co-Op last week. I almost did the exact same thing – selecting the recycled art activities, since (as you know) I share the love of all things made from recycled materials. Instead, though, I decided to let my 3 yo pick this week and one of his favorites was your poppy flower!! He said – beautiful!!
