Collage of 30 recycled Art projects for kids.

Crafting with your kids is so much fun. Kids love to be creative and make small masterpieces of their own.

Reusing items in your house for art projects and crafts is a great way to teach your children about resourcefulness. Also it teaches them how to reduce, reuse and recycle.

Recycled Art Projects are cost effective. Crafting can cost a lot of money, so if you can save a little here and there by using items that you would be throwing away (or hopefully recycling).
