Get the kids involved

Recycling and kids go well together. We need to teach our kids to recycle, giving them more understanding that if we don't recycle how much this earth is going to change.
Here are some great websites to teach children about recycling:

(Departmental of Environmental Protection)

(kids recycle)

(recycling works)


(recycling crafts) Look at this website. It has so many ideas for making crafts. You could get your kids involved for making things new from old things. And kids think that it is cool.

Just some more ideas:
Another great idea is to use old tissue boxes for trash. I right now have a cold, so I took the unused tissues out and started putting the used ones back into the box as a trash can. Clever huh?

Recycle plastic water bottles by cutting the tops of them off and using them as mini plant pots. You can decorate the outside of them very cute. Have children put them together and give them to their mothers or grandmothers as gifts. Simple and easy and recyclable.
