Earth-Friendly Fun: DIY Banner with Recycled Cardboard

Celebrate your favorite Spring holiday the eco-friendly way with this adorable DIY cardboard banner. This simple craft is perfect for kids and promotes sustainability. We did this activity for Easter but you can write any message on the cardboard and the fun will be the same.

We transformed that destined-for-recycling cardboard box into a vibrant eggscape. Cut out egg shapes, write letters “Happy Easter” on the cutouts.

Tip: wear smocks and keep a paper towel handy for wiping off hands (it can get a little messy)

Watch the colors pop on the brown cardboard as they blend and explore with their fingers and brushes. String the finished pieces on twine for a festive Easter decoration that’s easy on the wallet and planet.
