Fun and Free Green Summer Ideas for Kids

*Homemade baby rattle toy: Use an empty child proof plastic medicine bottle and fill it with pop corn kernels or dried rice and shake, shake, shake.

*Before you recycle your plastic food containers, consider using them in the sand box as toys. Used yogurt containers make great sand castle peaks.

*Use that lint from the dryer. Here are a few ways:
1) add it to your compost
2) create fun crafts. Go to http://www.planetpals.com/dryer_lint_crafts.html for ideas
3) helping start a campfire

*Go on a nature walk treasure hunt. Make a list of items unique to your area and try to find them during your hike.
