Earth Day 08

I know, I know Earth day was in April. The only problem with that was Emmersyn had a "Trash to Treasure" project that was assigned & I didn't get any pictures of it before it went to school. Once at school it was on display for the past month. This is why I haven't written until now.

Emmersyn's "Trash to Treasure" project was to create something,

anything out of stuff you would find in a recycle bin.

What to make? What to Make? Emmersyn said how about an Elephant? Sure why not, lets try so to our bin to see what we could find.......pop bottle lids, milk jugs, strawberry crates, yogurt containers, paper, toilet paper rolls, foil.....

And here is our Elephant

We all had a little fun brainstorming this one, but Emmersyn was ultimately the deciding factor on where the items went & what items were used. All the way down to the tooth pick tusks. This project now over looks the kitchen from the bulk head of the cabinets

So next time your over you'll have to take a peek. Emmersyn is very proud of her pet elephant.
