Jewelry Kids
In the heat of the 105-degree summer, have not exactly been eager to take my two girls at the exits of the park or walks in the local botanical gardens. We get in these activities regularly as I try to encourage my children an appreciation for nature. I am not an activist, and I often think that the weight of political issues are heavy push on our children too much, but it's never too early to teach some basic values. It's simple, really. Be polite. And that means for our planet, too. With a task too small, we collected the garbage in the playground and parking. My three years is very familiar with cycling "may", where she is convinced old cardboard milk are transported magically transformed into "boxes" princess with toys in them.
However, inside sweltering enough, stir the house trying to cadge some type of activity to keep the fun.
"You want to make art?" I ask, looking at some pieces of trash that accumulates on the can overflow that shamefully I have been too lazy (er, busy) to take.
My daughter nods with enthusiasm.
An old plastic milk jug, a pair of toilet paper tubes, some pieces of cardboard, a pipe cleaner, and aa number of layers paint later, and we have a piggy bank rather than fashionable look if I say so.
"We're going to put coins in it!" My screams as she tot quick to find some pennies.
Although it is nice, is quick occurs to me that this building may collapse if fragile increasingly filled with coins. Anyway, she already has a piggy bank. A beautiful ceramic a family friend bought for her at Nordstrom, custom painted with his name.
"But I like this, "pre-school my complaint when I try to reason with her.
See through their eyes, this milk jug is really garbage piggy to treasure. For her, there is nothing inherently more valuable on ceramics and purchased that there are some home-made-from-waste. On the contrary, the milk jug is large and brushed on the actual painting. That makes it better.
And as we have done as craftsmanship, I've noticed that has had an impact on my daughter. To the Like many children, make a cardboard playhouse infinitely superior to anything store bought, and the development of garbage has reinforced his inclination natural creativity and ingenuity. She has never heard of global warming pollution or endangered spotted owls, but she knows that I stop throwing a plastic cup used when you would a sand toy in perfect condition.
And really, when you reach the end, if we all think a bit less sophisticated environmental literature and a little more milk jug boxes, would land too.
