Now that we are "social distancing" and getting many of our necessities shipped to our homes to avoid stores and help "flatten the curve," cardboard is coming through our front door like never before! Did you know that almost 90% of products shipped in the US use some type of cardboard packaging? Cardboard is a versatile material that can be cut, bent, painted, wrapped, and configured in almost any way imaginable. Whether purely just for fun or to create something practical, let's up-cycle our cardboard and give our packaging a new purpose!

Here are some creative ideas for turning cardboard into fun and functional items for you and your family to enjoy.

We'd love to see your creativity! Please share on social media and use #COVIDCardboardCreations. Thank you!

30 Earth Day Crafts and Activities Using Recycled Materials

Earth Day is fast approaching (April 22), though there really is never a bad time to celebrate Mother Earth. It's important to teach students the environmental benefits of recycling, like conserving energy and natural resources and reducing air and water pollution, all year long. While recycling breaks down old items in order to create something new, upcyling makes something new from an existing object in its current state. Challenge your students to create something unique and wonderful from preexisting items like magazines, plastic water bottles, tin cans, egg cartons, and more. Check out our list of the best upcycled crafts for Earth Day or any day, and give some of them a try!

1. Make wildflower seed bombs.

Give back to Mother Earth with these easy-to-make seed bombs. Blend together used scraps of construction paper, water, and wildflower seeds in a food processor, then form them into tiny muffins. Let them dry, then toss them in the ground. As the seed bombs receive sun and rain, the paper will eventually compost and the seeds will germinate.

2. Create nature wreaths.

Take your kids on a nature walk to gather interesting leaves, flowers, berries, etc. To make the wreath forms, braid together strips of old T-shirts and form them into a circle. Then attach natural items into the crevices and secure with clear fishing line or hot glue. Attach a ribbon at the top to hang your wreath.

3. Construct a bug hotel.

Create a cozy place for all the creepy-crawlies to hang out. Cut a two-liter plastic bottle into two cylinders, then stuff it with sticks, pine cones, bark, or any other natural material. Make sure to pack the organic material tightly. Then loop a piece of twine or yarn around the two cylinders and hang your bug hotel from a tree branch or fence.

4. Make a quilt.

Textiles make up a huge portion of municipal solid waste- over 16 million tons per year. Teach your kids to repurpose old material that would otherwise end up in the landfill by putting together a cozy quilt.

5. Use magazines to create a bowl.

We love Earth Day crafts that result in a practical object you can use around the house. This project is best for older students who have the patience and dexterity necessary to carefully roll their magazine strips and glue them together.

Learn more: DIY Joy

6. Create Earth moss balls.

Pay tribute to our lovely planet on Earth Day with these fuzzy moss balls. Kids who love getting their hands dirty will particularly love this craft. All you do is squish pre-soaked sphagnum moss into a tight ball, wrap it tightly with blue yarn or strips of discarded T-shirts, layer more moss and more yarn, etc., until you've created an Earth-shaped orb. Finish with a loop of yarn and hang it in a sunny window. To keep your moss ball healthy, simply spray it with water every couple of days.

7. Create a hanging garden.

Large plastic bottles become beautiful hanging planters in this green-living and green-thumb project. A great way to make a gorgeous hanging garden.

8. Upcycle trash into flower art.

Scraps of paper are the only supplies you need for this recycled-flower-garden activity and lesson. The measurement and math element is an added bonus.

9. "Grow" an egg carton tree.

Save those egg cartons! This simple project only requires a few supplies to make a recycled egg carton tree.

13. Chime the wind.

Go outside for a nature walk and gather sticks, weeds, and pickable blooms, then bring the treasures inside to be showcased in recycled jar lids. With some wax paper and string, your students can craft this surprisingly beautiful recycled wind chime.

Learn more: Hands On as We Grow

17. Use old crayons to make new ones.

This isn't just any recycled crayon. It's a gorgeous Earth crayon! You can make these with your kids using a muffin tin. You just need to sort out the right colors.

21. Get organized with old cans.

Tin cans are easy to get your hands on, and they can go a long way in organizing supplies. Get your kids involved by having them help decorate the cans. They'll really take ownership of this, which will hopefully help them want to keep supplies more organized.

Guérir avec des images et des mots
par Finbarr Barry Flood, New York University (Auditorium du Louvre, 3/10/2019)

Parmi les objets les plus énigmatiques associés au pèlerinage médiéval, il existe un groupe de coupes en laiton, richement modelées avec des images et textes gravés contenant des images de la Ka'ba et du sanctuaire de La Mecque.
Probablement faites pour des pèlerins, elles ont été conçues pour ramener et transmettre la bénédiction du Centre sacré. Perçu comme aidant à guérir certaines maladies ou à soigner les morsures de bêtes nuisibles, leur pouvoir était activé par des liquides qui y étaient versés, bus puis absorbés.

Transmettant le pouvoir de l'endroit représenté, plusieurs d'entre eux portent en outre des inscriptions les identifiant comme des copies d'originaux bien plus anciens conservés dans des bibliothèques ou des trésoreries royales. Souvent, leurs inscriptions expliquent qu'un individu malade pouvait nommer un suppléant pour l'ingestion du contenu, leurs pouvoirs étant perçus comme transmissibles par procuration et à distance. Ces objets énigmatiques sont imprégnés de logiques de reproduction et de substitution, considérées comme fondamentales pour leur efficacité.

Nathaniel Rateliff is a singer and songwriter from Colorado. He's released four solo albums, and two with his band, the Night Sweats.

Those two Night Sweats albums were produced by Richard Swift, who passed away in 2018. In a statement, his family said that he "suffered from alcohol addiction, and it's ultimately what took his life." Nathaniel Rateliff's new solo album, And It's Still Alright, was supposed to be produced by Richard Swift, as well, but Richard died before they could work together again. In this episode, Nathaniel breaks down the title track, which was inspired by his own complicated relationship with alcohol, and by his friendship with Richard Swift.

You can buy or stream "And It's Still Alright" here. You can also hear Richard Swift himself on Song Exploder, with his band The Arcs, in this episode from November 2015.

Eric Nam is a Korean-American pop singer from Atlanta. He currently lives in Seoul, South Korea, where he found fame as a K-pop star. He was named "2016 Man of the Year" by GQ Korea, and Forbes named him one of their "30 Under 30 Asia."

But his success in Korea has been complicated a little by what he wanted to do with his career versus what he felt he was allowed to do. As his career as an artist has evolved, he's gotten closer and closer to making the music he wants to make. In November 2019, Eric released Before We Begin, his first album entirely in English. In this episode, Eric Nam and producer Rabitt break down a song from that album called "Love Die Young."

You can buy or stream "Love Die Young" here.

Sophie Allison makes music under the name Soccer Mommy. Her debut album came out in 2018, when she was 20 years old, and the New York Times named it one of the best albums of the year. Her second album, Color Theory, comes out this week, and it includes this song, "Circle the Drain." In this episode, she takes "Circle the Drain" apart and explains how it was influenced by songs from her childhood.

You can buy or stream "Circle the Drain" here.
