About our project: We live in a rural community of less than 2,000 people. When our decorated bags hit the town's single grocery store, requests for paper bags go way up! In our small town, we know most of the kids who have signed (first name only) the bags they've decorated.

Brenda's Country Daycare
Clayton, IL
USA
We decorated 12
bags!
About our project: Brenda's Country Daycare Kids did earthday bags with local home town Grocer. The children collected bags and decorated them, as well as made terrariums from recycled individual apple sauce containers, and also made flower vases from used Sunny D bottles. The children created a matching game with garbage cans and the materials that go into them. One can was for aluminum, for glass, and another was for paper products. They also did activity sheets and made puppets. At the end of the day the children had a plant delivered to te Grocery store owner and thank you for helping spread the word on recycling to others on Earth day. Daycare Provider Brenda Leenerts
