4. Egg Carton Flowers

Egg cartons are a great recycling material for crafts. Kids can cut out the cups, paint them in bright colors, and attach them to pipe cleaners or straws to create flowers.

Additional details like leaves cut from paper or felt can be glued on for a finished bouquet. Children can create an entire vase of flowers that lasts far longer than real ones.

This project encourages recycling and creativity while letting children experiment with colors and textures.
