Even more importantly, you can help them develop an Earth Day attitude every day by recycling and re-using materials.
Building a pinata from scratch gives your children a fabulous sensory experience, a
building/construction experience, and practice re-using materials! Like my daughter said, "I bet those newspaper people never knew that their newspaper would become a ladybug pinata!"Click here for step-by-step directions on how to make a pinata. Use newspapers and leftover scraps as you mache each layer on the pinata!
Then, paint it like a ladybug, add silly eyes, hide some goodies inside, and use it to celebrate Earth Day...or a birthday, or anything else!
I may share at any of these parties!
