Eco Friendly Kids Crafts Idea

I was thinking of a good craft for kids that will also start to teach them a little bit about being eco friendly. This idea popped into mind. Allowing children to decorate a cotton drawstring bag. These bags can be purchased blank, and the children can design their little hearts out.

Eco friendly bags can be used for crafts for children. Just allow the kids to take some fabric paint. Kids always enjoy making their own artwork. This will take lots of time, also. Kids enjoy doing this, so they will want to spend lots of time making their design perfect.

Because the bags are made from cotton, they are eco friendly. Since they are made from cotton, they are biodegradable. Cotton is a natural fiber that will decompose once is is disposed of. In a landfill, a cotton bag will take about 2-3 months to decompose, where other plastic bags would take up to hundreds of years to decompose.

The kids really enjoy being able to decorate their own cotton bag. This can be done for different events. A holiday coming up soon is Mother's Day. This craft is great for a Mother's day present. Kids always have fun doing things for their Moms.

The cotton drawstring bags could also be tie-dyed. This would also be another great craft. Just leave the project open for decorating. The more freedom kids have, the more fun they will also have. This can be done with any cotton bag, really. However, the kids can reuse the drawstring bags as backpacks. They will love showing off their design to all their friends at school.
