Trash to Treasure

We know these are challenging times for parents. Here is an idea to inspire creative play for you and your children.

Many items that typically end up in the trash can be upcycled into supplies for fun art projects.

It may feel a little overwhelming keeping a bunch of junk – but remember you can dispose of it all later when life calms down. Until then, and it will nice to have a bag of tricks.

Things to hold onto include:

  • TP & paper towel rolls
  • Egg cartons
  • Corks
  • Plastic bottle caps
  • Paper boxes like cereal boxes and mac n cheese boxes
  • Cardboard boxes (the bigger the better!)
  • Yogurt cups
  • Plastic bottles or jug
  • Scissors and tape turn these items into instant art.

After you complete your art take a picture and tag us!
