APRIL IS FOR HANDS

Whether it’s a decorative planter, a handmade tote bag, or a piece of mosaic art, this project helps reduce waste while showcasing artistic skills. By turning trash into treasure, youth can learn the importance of sustainability and resourcefulness while having fun Here is a short list of possible project ideas to get you started.
