Kids’ Crafts: Celebrate Earth Day
Teaching kids how to be more sustainable by Reducing, Reusing and Recycling is part of our daily routine. By now my little ones correct me if they see me being careless about water usage or throwing something away that could be useful. Earth Day crafts are a great way to celebrate the Earth and our home and brainstorm more ways that we can preserve our resources and protect the environment. Join me and my little ones in our celebration with these great tutorials for Earth Friendly Crafts!
I’ve been looking for a new paper mache project to make with my school aged nieces (5 and 7). This project is beautiful and interesting to make but it’s also a great opportunity to answer questions they might have about our planet, how it differs from the other planets, what kinds of resources we have and what we can do to protect and conserve them.

These Earth Crayons are easy to make, and so cool to color with! What a great way to reuse all those broken pieces of crayons.

Earth Day: Recycled Crafts
My favorite crafts are Recycled/Repurposed Crafts, so I thought I’d put together a few ideas to inspire your crafting this Earth Day. Whether you’re looking to create recycled Spring decor, upcycle old clothing, or repurpose antiques into new furniture I hope these crafts will inspire you to create sustainably, and craft on any budget!
There are so many ways to recycle Tin Cans. You can decorate them and use them to organize your desk or craft table, you can hang them on the wall in your mudroom or entry way to hold items you don’t want to forget on your way out (keys, chap stick, gloves), or you could fill them with flowers like these! The possibilities really are endless.

It’s not a secret that crafters love to recycle. There is some thrill in repurposing something that would be thrown away by a non-crafter. Today is Earth Day, the perfect time to celebrate that spirit of salvaging and creating something out of nothing. Let’s take a look back at some of my favorite recycled crafts…
This whimsical craft is made from an empty milk jug. It’s the perfect craft to get started teaching children about recycling and repurposing.
In addition to teaching recycling, these tin can pots are perfect for getting your Earth Day seedlings started. Recycle old materials and grow some plants to celebrate!

Repurposed “Dipped” Cans
By General Crafts Contributor Erin from the blog Lovesome.
With Earth Day around the corner, I’ve been trying to think of something I can do to repurpose an everyday item. One day I was washing some cans to put in the recycling bin and realized that their shape and texture was pretty great. All they needed was a little color and they would be perfect!
Here’s what you need to make your own dipped cans:
- empty cans
- sand paper
- painters tape
- Paint (I used acrylic but anything will work)
- Paint brush (I used a foam brush)
