I'm sure I will come up with some "New" Earth Friendly projects,  but here are some to get you started in time for Earth Day! I Love Recycled projects as you can see!!

Cassie Loves to help me pick up trash around the neighborhood which is another wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day!
She has such a sense of accomplishment when she has collected trash----she actually suggests to do it when she sees some:

"Mom,  we need to pick up trash to take care of the Earth!!"

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO CELEBRATE EARTH DAY WITH YOUR CHILDREN???

Every day should be Earth Day, but do something special to celebrate!

    Thanks for the reminder!
    I have generally done activities for earth day, most years, but somehow forgot this year - until now! :)
    We will definitely do somethings!
    You do have such very wonderful ideas for using recycled items.
    One thing I like doing, and just finished last week - is decorating the top half of pop bottles with tissue paper, and hanging them from the ceiling, they create suncatchers, and are quite pretty. I'll try to take photos and post soon.

    I love that Cassie cares about the environment!

    I love all the ideas here! Despite having some project ideas in my head for Earth Day, I'm going to save them for next year. Since Good Friday and Earth Day fall on the same day this year, I've decided we'll focus on Easter in the week ahead. Then we'll celebrate Arbor Day the last week of April.

    We did do an Earth Day craft at our local Michael's store today. My girls painted their own eco-friendly totes.

    Thanks for visiting my blog too. =)

    Those are great ideas! I love the paint chip collage and chains. I just saw some awesome paint chips at Home Depot that are shaped in the shape of a flower petal. I grabbed a handful but haven't figured out a craft for them yet!
