Reusing Items to Create Art, Crafts, and Science Projects
Brief Description of the Project
Students create art, crafts, and science projects reusing items that would be recycled or thrown out as trash.
Full Project Description
Items can be made into puppets, bird feeders, collages, paper sculptures and piñatas. Students will report and take notes on what items are being reused and how much. Additionally, they will explain the benefits of reuse. For other ideas on reuse, please check out http://www.recycleworks.org/schools/creativereuse.html.
