            How Can You Recycle and Reuse?

 

Animal Habitat:

Clean and rinse out plastic berry containers or grape containers that have the lid attached. Next time you are outside or hiking in the woods, place some moss or leaves inside and be on the lookout for frogs or bugs! It's the perfect, and cheap, habitat for them because you can easily observe from any angle!

CD or DVD holder:

Keep the wooden crate that clementines are packaged in. Then paint or cover them with paper to hold DVD or CD's or more!

Toy Holder:

Hold on to the plastic zipper bags that sheets or comforters come in! They make great storage bags for Lego's, Mr. Potato Head, My Little Pony stuff, etc.

Swap Meet:

Call your friends and organize a swap meet! This is where you trade kids toys and games, lunchboxes, backpacks, CD's or movies, Bikes, strollers....you name it!
For every item someone brings, establish a value that coincides with a colored clothespin. Then, everyone can "shop" by attaching their clothespin to the item they want. There may be multiple "buyers" for one particular item, so you need to decide what the best way to determine the winner.
