Instead of popping your recyclables out for collection this month, why not stockpile a few of them and have a go at creating one or more of these projects. They will highlight your commitment to sustainability while making the walls of your service look fantastic.
Milk carton houses Kids can make a mini version of their own house using old juice and ilk cartons.
Egg cup flowers Egg cartons are cut into individual cups and decorated in this activity which is great for all ages.
Magazine mosaics Another activity which can be scaled up or down for age and results in gorgeous and brightly coloured pictures.
Milk carton pen pot The children will enjoy creating a stack of these to use as holders for crayons, marker pens and paintbrushes.
Tropical fish Use paper plates to create a school of gorgeous and unique tropical fish.
Art holders Good for all ages, this activity requires a pile of cardboard tubes.
Cutlery wind chimes Everyone has a pile of unwanted dusty old plastic cutlery lying around, put it to good use in this activity which combines the cutlery with a paper plate to great effect!
Brown bag kites These will look lovely billowing around in the yard of your centre.
Brown box dollhouse This is a more complicated activity which will require supervision and would make a great group project.
Toilet roll noisemakers Transform an old toilet roll into a kazoo type instrument in this activity which is good for all ages.
