Bird Feeder

There are many different ways you can design bird feeders, making them a wonderful way to contribute to the environment. This toilet paper roll bird feeder, which uses peanut butter, seeds, and twine, is one that you’re sure to have all the materials for.

Button Wind Chime

Making a colourful, button wind chime will add colour to your recycled crafts, and you’ll get to enjoy the calming sound it makes. Bright colours are frequently linked with springtime. See what patterns your children come up with by allowing them to reuse buttons, can tops, or any other items you may have on hand.

Decorative Planters

Old tin cans can be transformed into a variety of things, such as vibrant planters for a pretty garden. Why not incorporate recycling into your DIY garden by utilising used soup cans? Gardens are a great learning opportunity. Really, there are countless indoor choices for a repurposed garden!

For children of any age, a simple game made of recyclable materials and sturdy construction can be enjoyable. With a shoebox and some craft sticks, construct a marble run or a Foosball table, and then start playing!
