Halloween Craft - Recycled Newspaper Bag Jack O' Lanterns

I love, love to recycle.  That's why I made these silly pumpkins. 

They are really easy to make.  All you do is save your orange plastic bags that the newspaper comes in.  Then you can either rake up leaves and stuff them into the bags, or crumple up newspaper and stuff that into the bags.  Then you tie them off so they're kind of shaped like a circle, and draw jack o' lantern faces on them with a black marker. 

You can put them in a cute pile in your yard or on your porch, or you can hang them in your house, or really do whatever you want with them!

A Present for the Easter Bunny

I wanted the Easter Bunny to bring us a little something extra.  I hope that this Easter Bunny has some animal friends that may like bird seed.  I think that the Easter Bunny will take this as a deal:

I'm gonna fill the bottles with bird seed so the Easter Bunny can take the sign and show his friends and share the bird seed.  If you don't have bird seed, you can use any kind of food.  But don't use human food cause it won't fit in the containers.  

Since it's Earth Day today, I decided to reuse some plastic containers so I won't throw them away.  

I started by making the sign.  I wrote kind of block words so he could read it a little bit better.  

I colored it in so it would be nice in a spring kind of a way!  Then I taped it to the bottles so it would be kind of a sign and it also has food!  I think that this will be a good craft because it's Earth Day and then it won't liter.  Plus it's good for Easter in 2 days!
