Teaching Families To Care For Mother Earth This Mother's Day

Care About The Planet. Everyone And Everything On It!

Why are we not getting the message to care for Earth?

It's been Planetpals goal for 20 years to teach kids to learn to care about Earth by caring for it! Like all living things, it needs nurturing and love.  

But, look around you and what do you see?  Bottles and trash on roadways, beaches, parks.  Go to any popular event and watch when people leave, how much is left behind?  Very few people are picking up after themselves! 

Corporations are to blame, too! As packages get smaller and smaller to keep prices down, we have more package waste. Much of it plastics. It all lands on Earth and in our water!

Do we live in a society where we are all oblivious to it? That's a scary thought. Let's teach ourselves and our children the importance of being pro-active. 

Teach them by example!

Happy Earthday 2019 Pals!

Happy Earthday To All Our Pals Thanks for being green, clean and Earth-friendly! You mean the world to us.

Go now. Don't miss one Earth-Friendly thing!

I Love You Recycled

Here is a simple and clever idea by artist June Rubin, who used her discarded paintings to make hearts:

June Rubin

Valentines made from recycled paper are a great way to say “I love you” to friends and family.  To make recycled valentines, cut up (or in June's case tear) cards from past, art work, newspapers, magazines, more.  Add buttons or baubles. Whatever is in your heart ♥ 

Send the gift of loving creativity!

Create Cool Christmas Card Crafts Just Recycle Greeting Cards.

Upcycle And Recycle Holiday Greeting Cards With This 

Myriad Of  Fun Projects!

It seems like such a waste to toss holiday cards in the bin and turn them into landfill. Still many of us live in towns that don't recycle cards.   So, what can we do?

You can donate cards to St Judes Greeting Card Program (which, by the way, takes cards for all occasions). 

But, what if you love that card and want to look at it again and again?  Or, you just want to extend the use by upcycling them in your own way? Recycle crafts are a great way to reuse cards.  Greeting cards can be year long projects and made into beautiful objects.

Here are some fun ways to upcycle your cards for this year and next. 

*note: These ideas work for any holiday just use appropriate cards. Imagine valentines, Easter, Chanukah, Eid, even Patriotic holidays!  Use new or vintage cards.

• 

  Make a Keepsake Book

• Make a keepsake Christmas book-put it out each year as a decoration!
• Make greeting card napkin rings! 
• Cut up cards make a picture or another card for the next year.
• Make decorations from old cards for following years.
• Used cards make great recycled coasters  round or square, laminated or not.
• Cover a tin to make organizers and holders for office or craft room. Use one card or make a collage.

  

  Make a Wreath

•   Cut up or roll cards to make cones, bags or  holders for candy or small gifts .
• Make tags for next year's Christmas or Chanukah Presents 
• Make a wreath with cards, you can cut them into shapes of stars, holly, reindeer, hearts etc. Just use your holiday imagination. 
• Make a holiday bracelet for the next holiday season. Just wrap an old bangle. Wear them or give them for gifts!
• Frame your favrite cards to display on your wall or table next year-they make great decorations!
  
• We hope you have been inspired to do some simple crafting with friends, family and kids.
• Happy crafting from your Pals!

Teaching Kids To Cook Healthy

What better way to teach kids to eat healthy, than showing them the ingredients that are healthy!

A healthy lifestyle includes healthy eating and exercise. Kids can learn at an early age how to have a healthier lifestyle and prepare foods themselves. In a world full of fast food options and eating out, it becomes more important that we give children the tools to learn how simple it is to actually cook for yourself.

You can make it playfull with happy faces or just make it wholeful and healthy.

A simple lesson in cooking and caring:

This morning my neighbors two children brought over flour free muffins that they baked for breakfast.  Not only did they learn this lesson but they learned to share with and care for others. Thanks kids...they were not only healthy but festive and yummy!

Alexis offers healthy muffins adorned with holiday flags!
