We originally came up with the Conservation Craft Activity idea because we wanted to involve the community within our store for a children’s art show and thought with Earth Day approaching, it would be the perfect opportunity! So.. we came up with decorating cut out dolls with different types of recycled materials. Once the children decorated the dolls, we had them glue the dolls onto a colored piece of paper (so it would look like a frame) and hung them by a piece of string in our front window. Once the kids were finished with their project, we let them leave with a handout explaining what Earth Day was all about and how they can contribute in their everyday lives to improving the world we live in.
Overall, the kids had fun making art and the parents loved that they could shop while their child was being entertained. Once the parents learned that they had a chance to win a gift certificate, they were really excited!!
