Years ago I was invited to instruct a workshop to recreational leaders on ideas for a kid craft activity. I chose to share how they could use items around the house to give rise to low-cost kid arts and crafts. Recognizing how a good deal of budgets are limited, Treasures from Trash was created.
Enlist the children in saving items to bestow to your fun arts and crafts projects. This is a outstanding chance to integrate the importance of recycling and saving our landfills. Listed are a great deal of ideas of recyclable items to save, but look around and see if there are other items that may be used to invent your own Treasures from Trash. Use your imagination and think “outside the box”!
These recyclable items make great arts and crafts projects. Make sure to check the items so that they are clean and safe for the children to use.
- Egg cartons
- Paper rolls
- Berry baskets
- Baby feed jars
- Plastic soda bottles
- Tuna cans (no sharp edges)
- Greeting cards and old calendars
- Six-pack plastic rings
- Paper grocery bags
- Magazines (child appropriate)
- Coffee and drink cans
- Oatmeal containers
- Newspaper
- Assorted sized cardboard boxes
- Clean socks (The ones not lost in the dryer!)
Some kid craft action ideas include puppets, box sculptures, science projects, collages and homemade gifts. Puppets may be made from all sizes of bags, socks and boxes. Create a marionette with a shoebox and imagination! Many science projects such as making a tornado, rain or terrarium call for a plastic soda bottle. Use berry baskets to embellish for Mother’s Day, Grandparents Day or Easter gifts.
Making a collage is an inexpensive art project when using a lot of the items listed above. Put out old greeting cards, calendars, magazines, postcards, and paper scraps for the kids to give rise to a distinctive collage. Save leftover craft furnishes such as buttons, ribbon, lace, fabric scraps, and beads to be used on the collage.
I hope this is a beginning of you creating your own Treasures from Trash projects. If you run out of ideas, just put the recycled items out and let the children create! They may be very resourceful and imaginative.

 Fantastic device – pick your Kindle!
By Amazonoholic
Having been a little overwhelmed by the selections amidst all the new Kindles and which one to get, I ordered this new basic $79 Kindle firstborn to take for a spin. So far, I like what I see! I also own a Kindle 3 so that’s the only device I may actually compare it to at this time (I think a comparison amongst other tablets and this Kindle is meaningless, this device is all when it comes to content and delivery):

 New $79 Kindle versus $99 Kindle Keyboard: Differences That Might Matter to You
By Ripley Scott
I own a 3rd generation Kindle 3G with keyboard (now called Kindle Keyboard) and have tried the NEW $79 KSO Kindle. I plan to get my wife a Kindle for her birthday so I have badly considered this model. Here are the main divergences I see amongst the two models with some personal comments.
AUDIO: New $79 Kindle has NO Speakers Or Audio Jack. The Kindle Keyboard has a 3.5mm stereo audio jack & rear-mounted stereo speakers.
The new Kindle has no text-to-speech option or audio capability for audio books(think Audibles.com) or music. Kindle Keyboard has these features and at least gives you the OPTION to listen to audio books if you choose. If audio doesn’t matter to you this is no real disfavor for the $79 Kindle.

Outstanding Value and Perfect Price Point
By Michael P. Gallagher
The new Kindle with Special Offers (“KSO”) arrived today – this review reflects my preliminary observations after using it for when it comes to two hours. A better, more-reflective review will have to (in my opinion, at least) be based upon a couple of weeks of use of loading it up with a large total of books, deleting said books as they are read, loaded up again, etc. Not to mention a few games here and there like Scrabble. Please check back after a couple of weeks and I will update this review to reflect how “time tells” on this device. I am also writing this from the perspective of being a long-time Kindle user vs. someone brand new.
