Books About Recycling for Kids

We love to make crafts and activities using recycled materials.  Love it.  So when we joined the natural parenting and earth month series at Alternative Learning, we knew we had to do something with recycled material crafts. Looking around the internet a bit, we were able to find the best craft idea books for creating kids’ crafts using recycled materials.  These are some seriously fun looking books!
