Earth Day is going to be here before we know it and I’m sure you’re wondering what you could do with the kids this year! Today I’m rounding up 18 of my favorite upcycled DIY kid crafts you can create with recycled items. You can turn a lot of items that normally gets tossed into some wonderful kid crafts. One of my favorite Earth Day kid craft project would have to be #10. You learn exactly how to take all your old shopping bags and turn them into a incredible Jelly Fish only using items you already have.
My favorite part of Earth Day is that it encourages everyone to find other uses for items. Why would you want to go buy construction paper for the kids to paint on when you could just use old newspaper that would not be used?

I love anything you do with paper. I am making paper lip necklaces. You connect the paper clips and with an old business envelope that has a design on the inside you cut up in two inch long by three forths widel. You add glue and wrap paper around ciip. Until you finish the amount of clips you attached together. Really sticky aut fun to do.
I really enjoyed your butterfly. . I even have some eyes on file too… Thanks..
Love these earth day crafts! We’ll be making some blue & green slime for earth day too! We just did DIY terrarium necklaces to learn about the water cycle and have a fun spring craft that I think would be fun for Earth Day too!
