Earth Day Activities for Kids: Upcycling

 

Earth Day Activities for Kids: Upcycling from The Weekly Kids Co-Op

 
Reduce, reuse and recycle; what a catchy phrase to underpin Earth day activities for kids. Our actions affect the environment. How do you help kids understand the importance of conserving our natural resources?

 
There are so many ways to reuse items to cut down on garbage that ends up in oceans or landfills. Here are some fun upcycling ideas from last week’s Weekly Kids’ Co-Op.
