For movie night, try something new! Have your kids construct a cardboard box imitation theatre and embellish it with drawings, buntings, and banners made from recycled paper. then play a movie within the “theatre” on a tablet or laptop. If the screening is outside, make sure to give your children mosquito protection or arrange for them to watch from within a screened tent. Think outside the box and possibly construct a cinema theatre.All kids like building a movie theater-style fort on a balcony, inside a cabinet or below a table. You can set up a white sheet and project the movie onto it if you’re fortunate enough to have a projector. Get the kids to build popcorn cups and design a movie menu that includes an opportunity for them to serve refreshments at a break.

Making kites is a game that kids will enjoy doing outside in a garden, and it’s far more exciting than purchasing one. Lightweight sticks, twine, glue, and newspaper (or other lightweight paper) are also required. Allow the kids to create their own flying toy before mounting a kite. On the paper, they can doodle, sketch, or colour. Make sure your children fly their kites in a place that is open and unobstructed. Take them somewhere open, or inquire with the school about using the track and field.

Create a scooper or spade out of a plastic jug, then start having fun! Such instruments can be customised by children by applying stickers, paint, or their own artwork. When kids are done customising their garden tools, you may do yard work together. If you don’t have a garden, you can always grow seeds into miniature plants in old yoghurt containers, or you may construct your own DIY seed wall charts using recycled zip-lock bags and lollipop sticks. Kids enjoy taking care of plants and watching them grow; it’s a terrific science lesson that is sure to keep them engaged and intrigued. Another smart move is to remove the stem from your vegetables’ leaves or a clove of garlic. 

It’s a great idea to use plastic bottles as the primary component of outdoor crafts. By recycling these items, you foster creativity in addition to recycling them. As well as papers, glue, and accessories (buttons, rhinestones, glitter, etc.), make sure you have some markers, paints, or water colours. From empty Coke bottles, kids may create coin banks, beautiful bowling pins, and rocket toys. You can utilise a variety of commonplace items to educate children the importance of reusing goods that might otherwise be easily thrown away. Give the kids a pile of used cardboard toilet paper inners, some yoghurt pots, some scraps of fabric, and a set of paints, and you’ll be shocked at what they come up with!
