We probably all have tons of recyclables laying around the house. If your recycling situation is anything like mine, it is probably overwhelming your garage, awaiting delivery to the nearest recycling center. It's true. I like to recycle, but I just hate taking it to where it needs to go.
We eat a lot of yogurt here and usually buy the big containers as opposed to the individual serving size. That means we have an overabundance of yogurt containers taking up space in the garage. So we reuse it for many different things. Today, we used two large yogurt containers to revisit a favorite and super easy craft. I usually call it confetti paper art, but shake art is also a good fit.
Here is what it will look like:
Materials
- Broken crayons, preferably with wrappers removed
- Yogurt container or something similar
- Paper - I used white printer paper, but really anything would work
This craft is so simple and appropriate for so many ages. Even crawling babies would be capable of pushing the containers around. My boys, on the other hand, preferred to shake the containers, throw them, and even hold them upside down.
Here's K's finished art project:
I love the simplicity of this craft, but I love that it can be tailored to different ages. For instance, J is almost 3 1/2 years old and he has been practicing his writing skills and you can see him writing his name below.
So start making use of those recyclables and then shake, rattle, and roll your way into a super easy craft project!
