Egg Carton Fish
Egg Carton Fish
Time:30 min
Difficulty:Medium
You betta believe we’ve got a great way to upcycle you old egg cartons! Here’s how you can turn them into your very own ex-squid-sit fish friends!
- An egg carton
- Scissors
- Glue
- Paint
- Craft foam or colorful paper
TIP: If you don’t have either of these, you can paint some cardboard or scrap paper instead!
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Cut three cups out of your egg carton for each fish you want to make.
Step 2: Glue the rim of two cups together to create your fish’s body.
Step 3: Now your fish needs a tail! Give it one by gluing the bottom of a cup to the bottom of its body.
TIP: You can spice things up by cutting a cool design into the tail.
Step 4: Time to paint your fish! What kind of pattern do you want to give it? Don’t forget to give it eyes!
Step 5: Once the paint is dry, you’ll need to add your fish’s fins! Cut little triangles from your foam/paper and glue them to the top, bottom, and sides of your fish.
There you have it! You’ve got your own fin-tastic fish!
It’s official! Earth Rangers expands into the US
Animals aren’t restrained by borders and now neither are their protectors – Earth Ranger kids. With over 350,000 members across Canada, the organization that empowers children to be environmental leaders in their communities is now available in the US!
For more than 20 years, Canadian kids have stepped up to help the animals they love by becoming Earth Rangers. But there’s so much more to do. With concerns growing over climate change and biodiversity loss, the need for positive, action-oriented programs like Earth Rangers, has never been more important or in demand. That’s why we’re expanding into the United States.
Our mission is simple but powerful; to create a generation of conservationists. And our research shows that we’re doing just that. Earth Ranger members have demonstrated higher rates of environmental knowledge, actions and are more hopeful about the future.
Getting started
It’s super easy! Just download the app, fill out the member registration form and your child’s Earth Rangers journey begins. After signing up, each child will receive their own personalized membership card and welcome package in the mail (but you don’t have to wait for the card to start using the app). Teenagers have proudly told us years later that they still have their personalized cards. Kids love them!
As members, kids can build their avatar and start exploring. There’s so much to do! Creative corner is loaded with games, quizzes, crafts and outdoor fun. Kids will also find podcasts, daily trivia, animal videos, habitat facts, and so much more. Earth Rangers work together towards community goals when they participate in environmental challenges and complete Missions that help protect animals and the environment.
What Are You Waiting For?
There is strong evidence that helping our children discover their ability to act on environmental challenges leads to hope, optimism, and a brighter outlook for the future of the planet. We can’t wait to meet more curious minds and superheroes. As always, capes are optional!
TIMBER! The Beaver is Here
Meet the dentist’s favourite animals. Beavers’ teeth are super sharp and super strong. The average beaver cuts down about 216 trees per year and can take down trees with a diameter of up to 40 centimetres without even a toothache. They can even cut twigs underwater!

Apple Crab
Time:15 min
Difficulty:Easy
You’ve probably heard of a crab apple, but have you heard of an apple crab? We’ll show you how to make one!
Here’s what you need:
- An apple
- 2 raisins (or some pretzel or carrot pieces)
- Help from an adult
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Cut your apple into thirds.
Step 2: Let’s start with your crab’s feet! Take 1 of the end pieces and slice it into thin wedges.
Step 3: Take the middle part of your apple and cut it into 3 new chunks. You’ll use the 2 outside pieces for your crab’s claws, but you won’t need the core.
Step 4: Remove 2 triangles from the 2 outside pieces you just cut.
Step 5: Arrange the feet and claws into a little crabby base.
Step 6: Put the final piece of apple on top of the legs and claws.
Step 7: Finally, give your crab some eyes! Cut little holes at the top of your crab’s head and push your raisins in.
There you have it! Shell-abrate your yummy fruity snack by gobbling it up!
