10 Best Out of Waste Ideas for Kids

Here are some best out of waste ideas for kids which will help you get rid of all that junk and also keep them occupied.

1. Tray Made out of an Old Photo Frame

If you have an old photo frame which you no longer use, ask kiddo to paint it to make it look fresh and new.
Pick up a pair of lovely, intricately carved cast iron handles and attach them to the edges with shallow screws.
And in that picture insert, use a fabric which you would like to use as the base of your tray. Just stick it on to the cardboard using some glue/ good adhesive.
Finally, add a glass. That will prevent the fabric below from getting soiled and also make the tray much sturdier.
If you have a discarded frame at home, the tray will not cost you more than $3-5, depending upon the handles and the glass you choose for it and your kid will be so happy to have made something for his mom!

      2.  Bookmarks Made out of Popsicle Sticks

Make some cute looking bookmarks for your grandparents using popsicle sticks, wiggly eyes, glue, felt tips pens and the bits and pieces of fabrics you can find in your mom’s DIY kit.

My 11 year old son made me this key holder yesterday, using his dad’s old credit card. He simply punched a hole into the expired card, run an old ring through it.
And lo! You have a cool key chain out of waste credit card.

That was easy, wasn’t it?
