Recycled TP Roll Apple Napkin Rings For Rosh HaShana!
TP Roll apple napkin rings are the perfect little craft to whip up just for the New Year to add a little bit of crafty goodness to your holiday table. They'd also be great place cards or even lined up as fun little decorations with messages written on the apples, as they really are so…

Doodle Drawing Craft For Rosh HaShana
Here's a fun doodle drawing craft for Rosh HaShana that's perfect for a nice range of ages, and requires only very basic supplies! I love how these apples, pomgranites and carrots look on our white sideboard, though we had originally thought of gluing magnets on the back and using them to cover the fridge. Still…

Drawing Exercise For Kids: Use Small Boxes To Create A City
Here's a fantastic drawing craft that's also a recycling craft — drawing on the un-printed side (the inside) of small medicine and food packaging to create a cityscape of buildings. The results of my seven year old's efforts were so amazing that I haven't decided if I want to frame them as is, or assemble…

Drawing Exercise For Kids: A Monster In A Recyled Box!
Here's a fun drawing craft that's fun and creative with very personal results — I'll call it monster in a box, though it could certainly be an animal or creature of any kind. We used a recycled box, drew the monster's head on the top portion and then used the bottom portion as the monster's…

Shoebox Carnival Toss Craft For Kids
I'll admit, I made this shoebox carnival toss craft for my eight year old, but kids just a bit older can certainly make one themselves, with help from an adult in the last step — cutting out the holes. It's apricot season which means that it's "go-go" season at school, meaning boys of all ages…

With just a few simple ideas up your sleeve, you can spend a little pocket…

How about making some bees from recycled plastic bottles? This would be a great project for a classroom or homeschooling unit about bees! I haven't done this project myself, but rather photographed it on our recent visit to a bee farm, here. And of course I'm always excited to see others crafting with recycled materials!…

Passover Craft: Wine Goblet Decorations From Recycled Plastic!
These fun wine goblet ornaments for Passover were not made from just any plastic, but rather from extra plastic lids that I found floating around while cleaning out my cabinets for Passover! And I'll be honest, I actually blogged about using plastic lids for making crafting shapes two years ago, though never got around to…

Recycled Light Bulb Craft For Kids: Funny Light Bulb Heads!
A few months ago I sat down with my seven year old and showed him how to make some funny light bulb heads with a few burned out lights bulbs that seemed just perfect for the job! The two light bulbs above were the kind that are shaped like a candle flame, so wrapping their…

Making Yarn From Sheets For Crocheting & Knitting!
Does making yarn from old sheets that you find in your linen closet qualify as Spring cleaning? It sure does in my book, ha ha! I opened my son's closet and the first thing I saw were a small pile of vintage comforter covers that sat in the attic for a good five years, and in one…
