Great Ideas from Rhode Island

Mommy sent a photo of our fun cloth bags.  I like using them. I also put my school projects in the picture. I love making all of the crafts at school.  I hope I make more soon and can show you.  At school, my teachers reuse supplies and also make craft projects that can be reused!

I was excited to use the beans from our bean/sand/water table to make maracas.  I thought the teachers were going to throw the beans away, but then we made a craft.  We used orange cups that can be reused when I am done shaking the rattle.  I am never going to be done with the rattle, though.

My pumpkin decoration was made with toilet paper, a paper bag and cloth.  We will save and reuse the decoration, but all of the pieces can be reused if you took it apart.  I think it is a good idea to reuse things for fun crafts or make crafts that you can reuse!  Also, shut off the TV and lights when you are done.  And, make robots or toys out of old boxes before you recycle them.

Wow, Teresa, you have so many great ideas!  I hope other boys and girls can use some of your ideas to take care of our planet.
