More Earth Day Ideas

I found a few more fun things for Earth Day.

To start out the day, I think that we are going to go on a nature walk & try to collect a few things like rocks, pine cones, dandelions, etc.

I am saw this around Easter, but it can be used anytime. You use dandelions to paint with.

Here is a cute idea for a water bottle maraca from Busy Bee Kids Crafts.



Here is a pine cone bird feeder.



I really like this Egg Carton Buggy Mobile from Kaboose.



I still haven't found the blog post about making the juice bottle bird feeder. From what I remember...you clean the bottle & remove any labels. Cut an oval shaped hole in the side of the bottle lengthwise, but high enough that the bird seed doesn't spill out. You could put a wooden dowel underneath it for the birds to stand on. Poke holes in the top by the lid of the bottle & thread string through the holes. Hang the bird feeder in the trees. I think we will try this tomorrow, so I will post better directions with pictures.

Earth Day 04.22.09

Tomorrow is Earth Day. I don't think that we are going to get any crafting done until tomorrow...so I will post a few ideas that I have seen.



I don't know about your house, but with two boys...we have a lot of rocks. Martha Stewart has a ton of cute ideas for rock crafts.



Just 4 Fun has a cute idea for painting the earth with a paper plate.



You could make a bird feeder out of a recycled milk carton, juice bottle, or soda bottle. I am going to look for the directions for the juice bottle bird feeder that I came across a couple of weeks ago because I think that is what we are going to do & I will post it tomorrow. (if I find it!)

No time for flash cards made one of our a milk carton.



If I come across any other ideas I will be sure to let you know!
