One of Ella’s projects this week was to create a recycle sign to hang above our garbage can in the kitchen to remind visitors that we recycle. I think this poster should definitely catch their eye! We just used things we had around the house to make it: a half of a poster board from a school project, scraps of mama’s scrap-booking paper to make the word RECYCLE (using the printer) and she drew pictures of items that can be recycled (beer bottles included) with markers. Then we hung it over our garbage can for all to see! It was an easy (and FREE) afternoon craft for her to work on. Crafts don’t always need to be elaborate or have detailed instructions, sometimes you can just use things around the house to create a masterpiece. This project allowed Ella to create something independently and now when we have people over maybe they will stop and remember that we recycle when they see our recycle sign above the can.
