Last week, when I posted about the fish art project, we received a comment from Molly who suggested reusing your garbage to create fun art for kids, all in an attempt to limit your impact on the earth.  I thought this was such a great idea so I tried it out with my boys today.

I literally emptied out our recycle bin onto our kitchen table and let the kids choose which objects to use. My oldest son decided he wanted to make spaceships, while the other one wanted to make a guy with eyes (out of milk caps).

With a little glue and tape we created some fun objects. The boys are having fun playing with them for now, and when they’re finished we can just toss them back into the recycle bin. Nothing wasted!
