Earth Day Crafts

In recognition of Earth Day, April 22nd, and in the spirit of Readsake, we thought that we would post some crafts for parents to work on with their children. Regardless of how you feel about environmental issues, one thing that parents must like, especially in these tough economic times, is that eco-friendly practices can often be more inexpensive than alternatives - especially when it comes to reusing things that you already have around.

Here's some of the ones that we found for you:

Make a Handbag from a Hardback Book

Paper Candy Boxes


Turn Plastic Bags into Dog Leash


Turn Old Magazines to Coasters


Make a Children's Desk Organizer with Recycled Materials
