America Recycles Day is celebrated this Sunday, November 15th. This is a great time to teach kids about the art of repurposing items that have outgrown their usefulness or are, perhaps, not functioning any longer.
Here at ZiggityZoom, we love to find fun uses for discarded household items. As you've probably noticed in our Activities section, we have robots to make, decorations for holidays and general fun things like castles and totem poles you can make.
Some of the things we use? Just look at this bin of discarded boxes and containers we save ... just so we will be well-prepared for the next project. Juice containers, egg cartons, toilet paper rolls, boxes, bottle caps, you name it.
Here is one of the finished projects made from only toilet paper tubes, cardboard and paint. This can be made as a little girl's Princess castle or a Pirate castle for the boys. Click link for full instructions.
