3 Recycled Craft Projects for Kids
Classroom crafts are always a lot of fun, but finding supplies for a class of 20 or so pupils may be difficult. Use what you currently have on hand to inspire children to produce works of art rather than whining about how your nonexistent materials budget isn’t big enough to buy a tonne of new craft stuff. You can use the DIY supplies you already own to make collages made of various materials and picture envelopes.

Go Green
What better way to use last year’s catalogues than to use them in a recycled craft project? One of Really Good Stuff’s commitments is to create a green working environment. The photos in the catalogues can be applied in a variety of ways to craft and educational projects. Students may design their “dream classroom” and cut out items that, if they were teachers, they would like having in their classrooms. They could also compile a wish list containing images ofthings that they would like to see in their classroom this year, which they might then use as the basis for persuasive essays or cause-related campaigns. Additionally, you may exhort them to go past the pictures and notice the colours on the pages that might be suitable for a collage of a city or natural setting. It is an excellent method to encourage pupils to consider unusual items as potential art supplies. Upload a photo of your pupils’ works to our Facebook page to show us what they have created. We’re excited to see what they did with the Really Good Stuff catalogues from the previous year!
2. Colorful Kids
A preschooler who was intrigued by the many patterns and supplies left over from earlier craft projects created this charming collage. The craft box’s bottom contained a foot-shaped punch, which was the ideal solution for giving this little child’s “material girl” feet. The arms, legs, and hair were constructed from leftover ribbon, while the clothing and face were made from colourful fabrics. Everything was attached to the construction paper piece using liquid school glue because a glue stick alone was ineffective for sticking the fabric. The finished image was then utilised as a starting point for stories.
3. Picture Envelopes
Old travel magazines are excellent for creating eye-catching and stimulating envelopes. Just carefully open a letter-sized envelope that you have. Trace the envelope design with a permanent marker on a vibrant magazine page that you have carefully removed from the binding. Cut it out, then fold the sides and bottom in. To make an envelope, apply a thick glue stick to the edges and seal the folds. It is prepared for use when you fold down the top flap. They can be used by students for creative writing assignments, as game piece storage, or for encouraging notes to parents. Use leftover scrapbooking paper to create little, attractive envelopes for amusing notes to students if you have any on hand.
