What are some Great Preschooler projects made with recycled stuff?

Question

I'm starting home schooling this year with my kiddo and she Loves projects. I have some ideas but other parents and teachers ideas are Always a great help. We're on a pretty low budget, plus I like teaching that recycling is fun too. Thanks!

Answer 1

you could make a macaroni picture (it is recycled right...lol), weave a basket, make a broom, etc..

Answer 2

You could make puppets out of paper bags (freebies from the grocery store!)  You can make dolls, stuffed animals,  & puppets out of old clothes, towels and socks. Button neclaces. Binoculars or oculars out of toilet paper/paper towel rolls.  Paper Mache hats out of newspaper. Egg carton trees or houses. Make houses out of cardboard milk cartons.

Answer 3

Just get stuff out and let her create.  Also you could look at the supplies you have and decide what you could make out of them.

Answer 4

Just have a bag of all kinds of stuff; bottles, containers, milk cartons,  lables, left over "stuff", etc.  Then whenever you are doing a craft project of something to do with art pull out the bad and let her mind go to work.
