Reuse Plastic Bottles for Kids' Crafts

Kids can even step up their superhero status by making gifts for your friends and family.

Kids' Crafts With Jars

Little earth-saving heroes eat a ton of protein, which means that you probably have empty peanut butter jars aplenty. Instead of kicking those jars to the curb and creating more waste, use them for fun. Creating something new with plastic lids and Mason jar lids is only one way you and your kids can craft the eco-friendly way. You can use the jar, too! No matter which of these recycled crafts you choose to make, keep your old jars out of the trash, and you'll end up saving cash when you craft.

What to Make With Bottle Caps

No matter what kind of bottle you have, glass, plastic, or sports, you can make amazing crafts with bottle caps. If you're feeling really artsy-craftsy, embark on a mosaic adventure as a family. If the kids would rather play with your recycled materials crafts, experience an alien invasion or construct a catapult. Because bottle caps are so small, you'll find that people don't even bother to throw them in the garbage can. That means that bottle caps are littering the Earth on top of creating more waste. That sounds like a job for a superhero, just like your little Earth enthusiasts. Gather bottle caps to transform them into fun recycled crafts that will help save our planet.
