Cool Crafts for Kids :: 50+ Recycled DIY

You are here: Home / Paper crafts / Cool Crafts for Kids :: 50+ Recycled DIY

April 22, 2010 By Rose Fine Crafts Leave a Comment

When I say ‘cool crafts for kids with recycled materials’ what comes to mind? A mess???! Well, think again. What really should come to mind is a smile. Because these mom artists with their kids, have created beautiful, and really cool crafts, toys and other decorative items for kids bedrooms. In an eco-friendly manner. Which means using re-purposed, reduced and recycled craft materials. I love these recycled DIY projects for kids. I think your kids will too. Have a look.

It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it…..
Let’s recycle!
