Earth Day Crafts Using Recycled Materials
You can set aside time to recycle, for example. reducing your use of plastic, cleaning up your neighbourhood, and even raising awareness of the need to protect the environment. Reusing and recycling commonplace plastic and paper goods that might otherwise go in the garbage is one such tiny step. To get you motivated to find additional applications for what you (often already have) and convert that rubbish into treasure, we’ve compiled some fantastic Earth Day projects made from recycled materials. This Earth Day, gather the kids and make some simple recycled crafts!

Composting
For the environment, earthworms are quite amazing. Did you know that these slimy little creatures support plant growth by converting composted food scraps and recyclable waste into beneficial soil nutrients? Here is a small-scale composting project you may perform with the kids if you have always wanted to start composting but weren’t sure where to start.
We hope that these crafts and activities have given you the inspiration to find inventive uses for common materials instead of throwing them away in the trash. We urge you to try and recycle as much as you can by making such tiny, easy efforts. Make each and every day Earth Day!
