Cool! I’m excited! I have been saving up TP tubes, so I’ll use them this week! :)
my girls are so in! I’m featuring a countdown to earth day book/activity/green step/website or porduct and i’d love to feature this!
So funny. I’ve been thinking about doing recycled crafts with my kids in honor of Earth Day! I started a junk box that my hubby is frowning upon- more clutter! I have a few neat ideas, but would love to see what others are doing with their junk to create! This looks like a fun challenge.
