Make a paper mâché Earth using a balloon, newspaper strips, and flour/water mixture. When it dries pop the balloon, pull it out, then paint. Make a birdfeeder using a papertowel tube, small wood dowel and a thick paper plate. Create planters out of egg shells, milk cartons, etc. Make a milk jug basket by cutting out the center part & leaving the handle in tact. Use it in a scavenger hunt collecting various items such as leaves, rocks, coins etc.

Decorate a reusable grocery bag using a potato as a stamp or imprinting leaves. Leaf imprints. Pressed flowers. Seed and bean collages. Soda can tab jewelry. Or just organize a tree planting, start a butterfly garden it veggie garden. You can plant the seeds in egg cartons, then transplant later. Have fun!
