This poster is totally cute and mod, with great colors and it’s printed on recycled paper. It covers the endangered species of the British Isles from A to Z. I just love it. You little might just love it too. Or you - I think this would even look great in grown-up spaces, very soothing. […]
The Earth Day Groceries Project is a great way to get kids involved in spreading the word about Earth Day.
How it works:
Gather up some kiddos - the more the better. Many schools participate each year from elementary to middle schools, but homeschoolers, church groups, day care centers, 4H clubs, girl scouts, playgroups or neighborhoods could […]
This is a fun painting soap for kids. The one problem with it is the food coloring. There are some organic food colors available, but they won’t be as bright as if you use normal food coloring. That said, even if you use normal food coloring, this is a much healthier soap paint than the […]
So, I caught Michael looking at beer can butterflies.
Yeah, weird I thought. Then, wait a minute. It makes perfect sense to pick up trashed beer cans on the street and turn them into butterflies. After all, butterflies are almost magical creatures that go through much change to be what they are.
In his artist’s statement, Paul […]
Yesterday we looked at juice dyes you can make. Today, here’s something to use those dyes for - finger paints.
What you need to gather:
1/3 cup grated natural, organic, pure soap - liquid soap won’t work as well, I tried once, but give it a shot if you like (I could have just messed up). You […]
When I was a kid I read this book - I can’t remember the name, but I do remember that it was about a large Jewish family during the depression maybe, which is besides the point, because it was the kooky kids in the book I liked. Anyhow, one of the young girls in the […]
Check out these cool Soy Crayon Rocks:
I love them. I bet your kids will love them too. Benefits o’ plenty:
These crayon rocks are made with renewable soybeans and tinted with natural mineral powder.
Because they’re soy, they’re smooth and distribute color evenly; more like pastels than wax crayons.
Designed to strengthen a child’s tripod grip muscles - […]
This is a great video about how to make a Dowel Vase Cover. This could easily be a green project with some minor adjustments. You can use this idea to refresh an old vase that you might otherwise toss. You can find scrap dowels and use earth-friendly stains or paints.
I was thinking of not using […]
Me actually - I don’t like plastic bags. However, if you’re going to have them why not recycle them into lovely flowers.
Learn how at one of the better new green blogs to appear last year - Keetsa. Can you imagine a recycled plastic bag wedding!

You may remember that I featured artist Daniel Edlen and his killer recycled vinyl art here at Tree Hugging Family. Well, now it’s your lucky day because Daniel recently let me know that he’s having a contest.
To enter, all you have to do is let Daniel know how music has impacted your life; a story […]
