Easy Recycled Spring Crafts for Kids
Bonus Craft Idea
Here’s a craft my kids did all the way back in 2020 that I haven’t had a chance to share until now!
They are the cutest napkin rings and egg holders made with egg cartons and toilet paper rolls.
You can get a better look at the original images here, but basically you paint the toilet paper roll and then use scissors to cut it to look like grass.
For the flowers, you cut the egg carton (you can use the shapes already naturally found in the egg carton) and then paint them.
