Glue, Dirt & Tin Can's!

I mentioned in a previous post that our theme for this term in our homeschool group was earth & keeping that in mind I went digging for some crafts to incorporate the theme. I found a great site where they had recyclable crafts which included plants and soil as well. (Kid's just love a craft with dirt involved!) It's amazing what you can do with a old milk carton and a empty tin can ~ you can help save the earth and have lots of fun doing it!

They were basic ideas, easy to do and they look great sitting on my front veranda - smile

Even Lola enjoyed painting and putting stickers on her tin can. She is very proud of her plant and she just looks cute in Charlie's bike helmet - big grin!

These are the links to the craft's:

And I thought I would just end with a lovely photo of my big girl with her plants that she has brought with her pocket money. I think she has a green thumb like her Grandad.
