Upcycled Art Class




Every Wednesday we gather with our close friends for art class. When they are here there are a total of 9 boys darting around the house. It can get slightly chaotic!
This week's project was Upcycled Art. We laid out a myriad of supplies and let the kids go wild.

If you want to try this with your kids (or if you are feeling creative!) here are some good material ideas that worked for us!


  • Toilet paper and paper towel holders
  • Old plastic fruit baskets
  • Plastic Bottles 
  • Cans (Don't stick your hands inside; they're sharp!)
  • Wire
  • Bottle caps 
  • Glass jars
  • Cardboard
  • The odds and ends left over from other crafts
  • Rubberbands
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Egg cartons
Anything else that you can't use but don't want to throw out can become art! The boys got very creative.  

You will also need:
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors 
  • Pliers 


The finished products!
