Are you looking for a fun and easy Earth Day craft? Your students will love this project!
To complete the project you will need the following:
- 1 can per student (standard sized)
- crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc.
- plain construction paper or copies of the wraps
- tape
You will need to do a little prep work for this project. Send a note home to parents asking them to bring in a clean can, or collect them yourself ahead of time.
Begin by teaching a lesson to your class on the importance of reusing. Some items your students might be familiar with reusing are: reusable water bottles, reusable grocery bags, reusing a box or container in a new way, etc.
Next, have students color their chosen wrap. I recommend using cardstock for durability.
Now you are ready to tape the wrap to the can, scotch tape works great!
Now students have a reusable pencil container! They will love to keep it on their desk to hold their supplies!
You can download all the supplies you need for this project, including a note to send home, here!
