Fun Earth Day paper crafts

Fun Earth Day paper crafts ()

Every year on April 22, we celebrate earth day as a way to show our support for the environment and its protection. One of the ways we can help is to recycle! Here are some fun ways to reuse that newspaper once you are done catching up on the latest.

Paper Mache

Start ripping up that newspaper and get ready for some messy fun. Don’t worry if you don’t have any glue on hand. Follow this easy recipe that only requires flour and water to make the paste.

Newspaper planting pots

With the arrival of spring comes the season for growing things. What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with an activity that combines recycling and planting?

Newspaper Baskets

Here is another fun way to hold stuff on a larger scale. You can weave together a basket to hold toys, loose change or whatever you want!

Newspaper Fort Structure

Now that we are home all the time, I will say that our fort making skills are on point. If you are looking to up your game, maybe build a fort outside in the beautiful spring weather, or just keep the kids busy for a while.

Newspaper Hats

Whether you have a birthday party coming up or you want to step up your Skype attire for your next meeting, newspapers can be easily turned into a stylish hat. With options for a pirate, cone, bishop’s or derby hat, there is a newspaper accessory for every occasion.

Wrapping Paper

There is something timeless and classic about getting a present that has been wrapped in the funny pages from the paper. Next time you need a gift-wrapped, save some money and make someone smile with some help from Garfield and the Peanuts gang.

Paper Airplanes

Timeless fun can be fun in the creation and flying of paper airplanes. With its lightweight build and ease for folding, a newspaper is an ideal material.
