For our Earth Day activities we made mini gardens out of recycled containers, using soil, seeds, seedlings, and objects found in nature.
We made wind catchers out of old yogurt containers. Necklaces were made out of paper beads. We also created a work of art which resembled Vincent van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ out of old bottle caps.
