Newspaper crafts

News paper vase

This year I worked with children on a one year project called Recup'Art, Means Recycled art. Working with children always allows me to learn new things myself. One of the things I loved so much and managed to make my kids love it too was newspaper crafts. We did a whole lot of crafts based on news paper. Such as the one in the picture. What do you think of it ? Do you do recycled crafts too ? It's so much fun and healthy for mother nature :) !

Lol, yeah kids love making rockets .. it's always challenging to do an artistic atelier in which you have a lot of papers.

This is a brilliant idea! I like any ideas that are helpful for the environment. I remember a TV program called Art Attacks. It taught us lots of handicrafts with newspaper and so on. I like that TV program so much.

I love doing recycled crafts/recycled container gardening. I think that its really important for kids to realize that this material isn't going to deteriorate very quickly, but we can still use it for other things. I love to use old plastic baskets as flower bed holders.

exactly ! I teach them a lot about how to recycle bottles for gardening. They understand very fast when it's explained clearly to them.

@pocabellla its should be our responsibility to protect the earth in global warming. Its just so sad President Donald Trump don't believe in global warming and said its just a hoax.
