Earth Day Friends!

Hello, Happy Rainy Day at least here in New England! This is something you don't see me usually post. I thought I would post these cuties that I designed for the kids to make in the class that I work in for Earth Day. They are made of rolled up newpaper with the top then cut down in 3 inch strips to make the hair. They are sturdy enough to stand on their own. I made a Rodney and Ronda so they had a choice of a girl or boy to make. They stand 2 feet tall.

Everything was made from die cuts except the mouth. The bow was 2 hearts with a small circle in the center taped together and then traced to make the bow. The hands are the kid's hands that they traced themselves and the feet are a friend's foot that they traced and cut out. Almost everything was traced from scraps that I had or from old CS that I don't use anymore so that we could reuse and recycle as much as possible. The stars on the shoes are cut from my Dienamics Die, I let the kids use the Cuttlebug to cut those out everything esle I made tracers for the kids to trace and cut free hand. Eveything was glued on with a glue stick except the feet, they were glued to form a V and then I hot glued the newspaper roll to the feet. It will stand without the feet but they look cute with them.

I wish I could post a picture of the kids holding their creations because they all put their on creativity into theirs like fangs or earrings, you get the idea. Their picture can't be posted because of privacy concerns for some of them. If you have kids home on a rainy day this is a fun project to do with them.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Rodney and Rhonda Recycle friends. Here are a few challenges that they fit
