Gift Tips From Anna
| June 22, 2010 | Posted by Lisa Sharp under Uncategorized |
I received an e-mail from Anna’s mom sharing with me some info Anna thought I should have. She wanted to share with others how she has reduced waste when making gifts for Father’s Day.
Anna’s dad loves Dr.Pepper so she made in a “Dr. Pepper Flower” from some old bottles. She peeled the label off of some and made the flower and used a wooden kabob stick she painted with homemade finger paints for the stem. She used Legos to hold the flower in place in another Dr. Pepper bottle. She used Legos (blue to look like water) because her dad loves Legos. She also said “you can use rocks or pebbles from the yard if your dad doesn’t like Legos.”
She also got her dad some army men Legos from Toy Story 3. Anna’s dad said “Legos never wind up in landfills because they last forever and if you don’t want them anymore, someone else is always willing to buy them.”Also Legos are not coated so no lead paint and they are PVC free, Jennifer Taggert recommends them because they test as being safe. To wrap the present she used old newspaper that she decorated. She also uses brown paper bags sometimes for wrapping.
Anna is showing us that it doesn’t matter how old you are you can make a difference! These are great ideas for kids wanting to make gifts and be green.
