Recycled Plastic Bottle Crafts & Activities for Kids

Before you decide to throw away that plastic bottle, think again! It can be used in a craft project or create a fun activity out of it. I rounded up many ideas for you and the kiddos to create  everything from plastic art to up-cycled animals using plastic bottles.

Spin tops from Creative Jewish Mom

Bottle bottom pendents from Crafty Crafts

Plastic beads from Zakka Life

Cell Phone charger holder from Make it Love it

Bird feeder from Cool 2 Craft

Plastic bat and ball from Wellsphere

Farm animal bank from Home Dzine

Plastic bottle bubble snake maker from Come Together Kids

Plastic bottle bracelets from Canadian Family

Make a crown from Paper, Plate, and Plane

Need something to do with the caps of your plastic bottle? Create flower art from LushHome

Plastic bowling from Madee Made

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
