Recycle Holiday Cards for Kids

They'll learn the benefits of reuse

Comments

Every year I ask my friends to donate their old holiday cards (the ones they usually toss in the garbage after the holiday). I use them in my classroom with my first grade students. We keep the image and toss the portions written on in the recycle bin.

The kids use them to make cards for family members, friends and pen pals -- we even use them to decorate our class bulletin boards. I try to use every scrap of card donated. This is my own little way of saving trees and making the next generation mindful of the many ways to recycle our resources.

So friends, if you still have some of those old cards collecting dust, my kids would welcome your donation this time of the year. Just write to me and I will be glad to give you an address to send them to. Please email me at Bagitup4me@gmail.com. Thanks.
