Create a Sustainable Arts Lab at Home!

Create a Sustainable Arts Lab at Home!

April 20, 2016/in Guide, Learn, Make/by Shine

As a part of our continued effort to stay green and reduce, reuse, and recycle, we love using household items to create art and as loose parts in our play. While not everyone has the space for an art studio, we suggest creating a mini Sustainable Arts Lab of any size in your home!

In addition to some basic art supplies (paper, glue, scissors, paint, etc.) the following items help to inspire imagination and play, but most of all turn waste into something that can really shine!
