ART FROM THE RECYCLING BIN
Free art materials are everywhere! This blog is dedicated to exploring and encouraging the use of found art materials. As an art therapist who works with children and their families, I am especially interested in the possibilities for incorporating creative play into everyday family life. Using materials we find around us can make the process fun, lively, personal, affordable, and environmentally responsible. So get out there and start collecting garbage!

Cardboard Berry Flats

After unloading pint baskets of berries from these flats, any supermarket is glad to have you take the cartons off their hands and save them the work of breaking them down for disposal.  They make great readymade frames or shadowboxes.  They come in several sizes and some even have handles that can be slipped through the holes to make a hanger. Most kids love being provided with a frame to work within.
