  1. Fun ideas for Earth Day! I remember making the rolled paper beads with my grandma, who lived through the Great Depression. There was a lot of wisdom in that generation’s “make do” attitude! Thank you for including the Mud Monster from CraftsnCoffee.com, too.

  2. These are great ideas, especially the bird feed ornament! Engaging kids in activities that involve reuse items is a perfect opportunity to teach the important of caring for planet Earth. Great post!
