Do you have a bunch of paper just lying around the house? This could be newspaper, pieces of paper from your kids’ notebooks, torn book pages, cardboard, and more. And instead of just throwing these away, why not recycle them into something new and useful? What’s better is that your kids can do this themselves so they can know and practice the importance of recycling!
