Summertime is all about having your child’s friends over for playdates. While kids in pairs or groups are great at figuring out games and activities to play on their own, having a fun craft planned is smart in case there’s a lull in the hoopla. The key here is to keep the crafts simple, economical and green. And your kid’s buddies will be so thrilled to take home a souvenir of their time spent hanging out at your house.
When choosing crafts to do with my son, I always use recycled and eco-friendly materials whenever possible. It makes craft time easy on the environment and my budget – and I also think that using recycled or found items is a great way for your child to use their imagination. To get started with any of these crafts, you will want to take a look at your recycling bin and craft closet, then jump over to Inhabitots for my favorite 7 eco-friendly and inexpensive crafts that are perfect fun for boys and girls ages 5-9.
