15 Fun Upcycling Ideas For Kids

While staying inside, it’s easy to run out of ideas to keep the kids occupied. That’s why we’ve come up with a range of fun upcycling craft ideas for the children to get stuck into! Unlike regular crafts, upcycling involved recycling things you most likely already own, and transforming them into beautiful decorations, toys, artworks and much more. This list of upcycling projects includes something for children of every age, and are guaranteed to add a little creative fun to your week!

Bowling Pin Tin Cans

Suitable for ages: 2+

You will need: 6 empty tins, paint (preferably acrylic), craft materials for decorating, and a tennis ball.

First, make sure your tins are completely clean and dry. Next, mix together paints and get creative! We recommend painting a flat colour all around the outside of the can, then filling in decorations afterwards. You could try adding googly eyes to make animal friends, or paint some bowling stripes on. Lastly, place the tins in a pyramid shape, and take turns seeing who can throw the ball and knock them all down!

Toilet Roll Flower Painting

Suitable for: all ages

You will need: Cardboard loo rolls, scissors, poster paints, and paper.

First take your toilet roll and, using your scissors, begin cutting straight lines around 1cm apart, about 2/3 of the way up the roll. The aim is to go for a ‘fringe’ effect. Once you have cut all around the roll, hold the roll cut side down, and lightly press on a surface so the flaps bend outwards slightly. Next, get the kids to choose their paints and pour them out onto a plate (Top tip: multicoloured paints next to each other works really well for this!). Now, the kids can dip their rolls into the paint, press them on to paper, and watch as ‘flowers’ appear on the page!

Bowl Painting

Suitable for ages: 4+

You will need: Old plain bowls, acrylic craft paint, and acrylic varnish.

With this activity, you can use any old plain bowls you have lying around. Simply use your acrylic paint and brushes and design your own bowls! Once complete, place into a cold oven, turn up to 220 degrees and bake for 40 minutes. When cool, apply one or two coats of acrylic varnish and there you have it- creative trinket bowls that will last for years to come!

Cereal Box Puzzle

Suitable for ages: 3-8

You will need: Empty cereal boxes/packaging, scissors, a pencil, and a pen.

First, cut out the part of the box you would like to use for your puzzle. Next, take your pencil and divide up your box into ‘puzzle pieces’. Don’t worry, you don’t need to bother with an interlocking design- simply squares will do, as long as they can be placed back together. Larger pieces will make an easier puzzle, and would be great for younger kids, while smaller pieces will make it a little more challenging. Now, cut along the lines you drew with your pencil and your puzzle is complete! Kids will have a fabulous time playing with puzzles of their favourite cereals!

Cardboard Box Fort

Suitable for: All Ages

When it comes to easy fun activities for kids, you can’t go wrong with a fort. Simply grab an old cardboard box, some blankets and let the kids’ imaginations do the rest! Fill it up with pillows and cushions, string some fairy lights around and invite all their toys to tea! You can even take the upcycling theme to the next level, and let the kids decorate the outside of their new fort- will it be castle, den, or perhaps a pirate ship?

Papier-Mâché Piñata

Suitable for ages: 5-10

You will need: A balloon, old newspapers, PVA glue, water, string, lots of sweets, and art supplies for decorating

First blow up your balloon and tie. Mix together 2 parts water to one part glue in a bowl. Now rip your newspaper into strips, and, dipping it into your glue mixture, begin to cover the balloon, making sure to leave a hole at the top to put the sweets in. Repeat this step until the whole balloon is covered, then repeat for another layer. Let dry overnight, pop the balloon inside and remove. Now the kids can paint their piñata and decorate to their heart’s content! When finished, fill it up with sweeties, attach the string and find somewhere to hang it up. Grab a stick or baseball bat, and the kids can all take it in turn to whack the piñata until the candy falls out!

Tin Can Walkie Talkie/Phone

Suitable for ages: 5+

You will need: Two empty tin cans, string, and a hammer and nail

This first step requires a grown up – take your cans and, using your hammer and nail, carefully punch a whole in the centre of each base. Next, tie a knot in the end of your string and thread it through the bottom. Do the same with the other end of the string and other tin, tie another knot and cut the excess string. Now pull the string very tight and hold the tin up to your mouth while your partner holds it to their ear – when you talk they should be able to hear you!

Top tip: If you can’t hear, try pulling the string extra tight – this helps to carry the sound vibrations better.

Egg Carton Bugs

Suitable for ages: 3+

You will need: An empty egg carton, googly eyes, paints and art materials.

First, cut your egg box up so that each egg holder is separated. Now, simply turn them over and paint whatever colour you like. There are so many animals you could make using this technique, but we think bugs work really well for all ages! You can add wings using cut up paper, and paint on designs to make bumblebees, lady birds, or beetles! This easy DIY is a great way to keep the kids busy for a couple of hours.

Sock Puppet Pals!

Suitable for ages: 4+

You will need: A sock, googly eyes or buttons, glue, and craft materials for decoration.

All you need to do for this project is take your sock of choice, pop it on to your hand, and glue on some googly eyes. Then get creative and add a mouth, hair, ears, a nose, or any other parts you can think of to make your sock pal come to life.

Yoghurt Container Planters

Suitable for ages: 3+

You will need: Empty yoghurt containers, acrylic paint, brushes and tape.

First, make sure your pots are clean and dry. Now, take your tape and lay small pieces in different areas of the pot. Try cutting out shapes of the tape or layering pieces on top of each other. Now, paint over the entire pot, using whatever designs you like! Once dry, peel off the tape to reveal your designs. You can now fill your new plant pots with soil and plant seeds, or transfer existing plants!

Multicoloured Suncatchers

Suitable for: All ages

You will need: Clear plastic yoghurt pot lids, paint, string, scissors, and PVA glue.

First, pick your paint colours and pour out onto a plate. Mix each colour with PVA glue, about 50% each. Now, taking it in turns for each colour, create swirls and star designs on the lids. Leave to dry, then use a pin or scissors to make a small hole in the top of the lid. Attach the string, and now you can hang your beautiful suncatchers up by the window and watch the colourful light stream through!

Glass Jar Lanterns

Suitable for ages: 4+

You will need: Empty jars, tealights, tissue paper, scissors and glue.

First, take your tissue paper and cut into shapes. Try geometric shapes for a stained-glass effect, or maybe wavy shapes for an underwater scene. Next, brush some glue on to your tissue paper and stick on to the outside of the jar. Continue this until you are happy with your design, and let dry. Now, pop a tealight inside and carefully light it. Turn off the lights and enjoy your fab design!

Bottle Bird Feeder

Suitable for ages: 3+

You will need: A large plastic bottle (labels removed), an old pencil, scissors, bird feed, and string.

First make two holes about 2/3 down the bottle, and insert the pencil so it is horizontal, and about 2cm is poking out of the bottle to make a bird perch. Add another hole a few inches above the perch for the bird to eat through, then two small holes at the top to hang the feeder. Fill with bird feed, thread some string through the holes and your feeder is ready to go!

Mini Crisp Packets

Suitable for ages: 3+ (requires supervision)

You will need: Empty crisp packets and an oven. Yes, that’s it!

Wipe down the inside of your crisp packets, and place them on a baking tray in an oven preheated to around 170 degrees. Kids will love watching as the crisp packets transform into little tiny versions of their previous form. These mini crisp packets make great ‘fake food’ for dolls, and can be used for further projects- why not glue them on to a magnet for a fun fridge addition, or pop them on a keyring!

Secret Memory Book Box

Suitable for ages: 8+

You will need: A hardback book, a pencil, a ruler, PVA Glue, a brush, water, a plastic container, and a box cutter.

To begin, mix together your glue mixture- approximately 60% glue, 40% water. Now tightly hold together the pages of the book, and apply your glue mixture around the edges of the pages. Let the glue to drip down between the pages so they stick together. Place a heavy object on top of the pages, and leave to dry. Once dry, measure out a rectangle on your top page, leaving approximately 2cm all the way round. And now for the dangerous part (we recommend an adult to assist here)- take your box cutter and ruler, and start to score your rectangle. Continue doing this until you reach the bottom of the book, and the entire thing is hollowed out. Take your glue mixture and apply a coat along the inside of the hollowed out pages. Leave to dry, and there you have it- a fabulous upcycled book box!

Victoria Zemlyanaya, mother of many children from the Urals, was able to return three children who were taken by force by guardianship, 03.

12.22 | e1.ru

At the last trial, Victoria managed to defend her daughter

Share

Viktoria Zemlyanoy, a mother of many children from Beloyarsky, will get her three children back.

Recall that on August 31, guardianship forcibly took away Victoria’s fifteen-year-old daughter and thirteen-year-old son, and on September 23, two more sons were removed from the family. In total, there are eight children in the Zemlyany family: three of their own and five more adopted.

Lawyer Nikita Sorokin told how during six meetings he tried to prove that the removal of children was illegal and unreasonable.

“They sought to secure the claim, which is a rare case,” he wrote on his page on VKontakte. – The girl Kira was left in the family and was not allowed to withdraw to a boarding school. The decision of the Beloyarsky District Court is to partially satisfy Zemlyanoy’s claim. As soon as the court decision comes into force, three children will return home to their mother, and the school principal and the head of the department will have to report to the court on the work done to eliminate violations. I congratulate the Earthly family on the victory and the return of children to the family!

Victoria added that she had been waiting for this decision for three months: “Thanks to you — wonderful people, Nikita Sorokin, a lawyer, a judge authorized for the Russian Federation, journalists and the media, my beloved girls, friends, psychologists, foster mothers — I had the strength to endure this ordeal”.

It all started with the fact that one of Victoria’s daughters herself applied for custody – probably because of resentment towards her parents. The children have already begun to look for a new family, some of the children refused to return to their foster mother (this became known during the trial). We published a heartbreaking video: a thirteen-year-old child resisted and did not want to leave home. The case was taken up by the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin.

    All news allowed to bring food to school from home. We are not talking about cans of borscht or mushroom stew. A woman would just like to give sandwiches, pies and vegetable cuts to her son and daughter. In her opinion, such food can simply lie in the briefcase until the big break and it does not need to be heated. However, the director of the educational institution forbids this.

    11-year-old Anya and 7-year-old Fedya study at gymnasium No. 6 on Vavilov Street and eat almost nothing in the school cafeteria. According to the mother, at home they are unpretentious and eat the most ordinary food, they just cook tasteless at school.

    – At home, children can happily eat a plate of the most ordinary pasta without anything at all. But in the school canteen, even pasta manages to be tasteless. Fedya goes with the class to free hot breakfasts, set for all junior schoolchildren, but eats only bread and tea there, sometimes he can bite off a piece of casserole. I tried to give the children something to take with me, but the director intimidated all the teachers so that they generally forbid taking any snack out of the briefcase. It got to the point that one day Fedya was hiding from the teacher under the desk during the break in order to eat a cereal bar, which I put him with me, – says Nina Fateeva.

    She tried to join a parental control group so she could go to school and try canteen meals herself. But she was quickly expelled from the group. Otherwise, it is impossible to get into the school building: according to the requirements of anti-terrorist security, parents are not allowed to go beyond the threshold.

    Fateeva tried to resolve the issue with the director, but he sent a reply that homemade food is a risk of poisoning at school. The woman wrote to the Department of Education, but there she was told that only children with health problems, for whom the doctor prescribed a special diet, could eat food brought from home (then you need to bring a certificate with a diagnosis).

    — At the gymnasium, they told me that if the children don’t want to eat in the cafeteria, then let them buy something in the cafeteria. But they sell only rolls, confectionery and drinks. My kids can’t eat confectionery every day, so they just go hungry for half a day. The department of education assured me that there was also hot food in the buffet. This is not true, look at least on the website of the school. Anya once decided to go to the cafeteria with her class to buy a plate of buckwheat. So they didn’t let her in! She was sent to the buffet, and there are only rolls! It turns out like this: either pay the full cost of food on a regular basis, or don’t go at all. It seems to me that all these rules were invented only for the sake of increasing the earnings of the canteen and the director, – Fateeva is indignant.

    It follows from the documents on the website of gymnasium No. 6 that the canteen is a structural unit of the school, it reports directly to the director, the school itself hires workers there, there is no information about any third-party contractors. Could not find information about the product vendor either.

    — Why is it possible to bring your own food in all other schools, and not only in ours? I have already interviewed all my friends, everywhere you can. The school management refers to epidemic safety, but as a result, the children quietly eat anything with dirty hands under the desk or in the corridor, says Nina.

    Meanwhile, on December 1, the regional Rospotrebnadzor published an article “Can a child bring lunch to school from home?”, which reads:

    “Parents have the right to give their child the food they think is necessary. No additional permissions are required for this. This will not be a violation of sanitary rules. What to do if they are not allowed into the dining room with their own food? To resolve this issue, you need to contact the education department of the administration of your municipality.

    We turned to the Education Department of Krasnoyarsk. They answered that the food brought from home is not regulated in any way, so the principal of the school can decide this issue himself.

    We talked to the headmaster of Gymnasium No. 6 Sergey Semyonov. He stated that when Anya and Fedya brought their food to school, they allegedly ate it “demonstratively” and “as if they were above everyone else.” He also explained that if everyone is allowed to take their own food, then there will be a mess. For example, children will order pizza through delivery services directly to school.

    At the end of the conversation, Semyonov agreed that Fateeva’s children take food from home, but only if their parents write a statement that they take full responsibility for the children’s health, so that in the event of some kind of poisoning, the family does not make claims.

    Nina replied that she could write such a statement about her eldest daughter, but not about her first-grader son, because he still sometimes eats something from hot school breakfasts. In addition, the law does not oblige parents to write such statements.

    And in the majority of Krasnoyarsk schools meals are provided by third-party contractors who enter schools under government contracts. Here we wrote how it works.
