Materials & Instructions:
  | Materials: Treasure Hunt! Collect items throughout your home that are to be recycled or are on their way to the trash/landfill. Leftover fabric pieces, bent hangers, empty paper towel rolls, torn clothes, bits of saved gift wrapping paper, empty cans, single socks, bottle caps, leftover threads, ribbons - anything! Don’t forget tape, glue, staplers, crayons, paint, and markers. Older students? This is for you too! Think out of the box - google a few modern artists, examples of DIY art from CDs and more - and be inspired! Instructions:If you need help getting started with young children, check out the flower and butterfly templates on the Town website. Use printed templates to trace the form onto a piece of cardboard or poster board then decorate it with collected materials. Young children could color the printouts with crayons or markers. You can also hand draw flowers or the entire garden. Resources: Check out the examples below under "Creating your own up-cycled garden" for more Artist for the Earth templates, ideas and photos of completed work! |
