Has your family been eating lots of popsicles this summer? We sure have! Our leftover popsicle sticks started to pile up, so we’ve come up with a great way to upcycle them AND make a fun craft! No Popsicle sticks? No problem! You can gather twigs from outside instead.
Cut a piece of string about 30cm long.
Tie the ends of your string to both ends of your stick so you have a loop.
Glue 3 more popsicle sticks to the first one to make a square with the loop on top.
Once the glue has dried, flip the whole thing over so you can secure the back with another layer of popsicle sticks.
Decorate your door hanger and personalize it with a message for any visitors!

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the bread dough into roughly 1/4 cup portions.

Wind each ‘snake’ around a chopstick and place them on the baking sheet.
Place 2 peppercorns on the head of each snake to make the eyes, and evenly sprinkle the parmesan cheese on the snakes.

There’s nothing better than a summer evening outside until you hear that pesky buzzing and suddenly you get bit! Save your campfires, family dinners, and sunset-watching with these DIY floating citronella candles!
Rosemary, basil, thyme, and lavender work well.
Fill it up to an inch below the lid rings and leave enough space for your candle.
10-20 drops of essential oil (depending on the size of your jar). A mix of citronella and lemongrass works great!
The fruit and the citrus oils are great as natural bug repellent!
A tea light candle works perfectly for this DIY!

Eating locally grown food has tons of benefits, and what’s more local than your own backyard?! Here are a few ideas to make your gardening even greener by Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling!
Old wooden fruit crates (the ones tangerines come in) can be reused as seedling trays, mini garden beds, or handy homes for garden tools!
These work great as plant labels – write your plant names on them with pen or permanent marker and stick them in the ground to keep track of your goodies as they grow!
Flip ’em upside down and place over baby plants to protect them from strong winds, harsh sun, and critters that might snack on those tender leaves!
Perfect little homes for newly planted seedlings! Since you might have to start your seeds indoors until the weather warms up, cutting the tops off old containers is a perfect, easy DIY.
These make great slow-release watering systems for your plants! Have an adult poke a hole in the lid, then fill it with water, close the lid, then stick it in the soil upside down beside a plant that needs frequent watering. Refill the jug when it’s empty to keep your plants happy and hydrated!

Bust out those veggies because we’re making some delicious lettuce wraps! Make sure to ask a grown-up for help with this dish.
If you’re using beans and rice, prepare them according to their instructions.
TIP: for extra eco-friendly points, use leftovers!
Wash and chop up your veggies. Cook them up if you want them to be softer, or leave them raw for some crunch!
Get some big lettuce leaves, wash them and let them dry.
Grab some of your prepared ingredients and veggies, and place them in the middle of one of your lettuce leaves.
Add some hummus for some extra flavour.
Fold your lettuce around the ingredients and enjoy!

Let’s show those houseplants some extra love with a unique papier-mâché plant home!
Begin by ripping your scrap paper into pieces.
Mix your glue with a little water in a wide dish until it gets a bit runny.
This is where things get a little messy! Dip each scrap piece into the glue until coated and put it onto the bottom of your container. Smooth them out with your fingers. Make sure your pieces overlap and the whole container is covered.
Keep adding pieces until you have 2 to 3 layers. This will help your pot stay strong.
TIP: Feel free to make this craft layer by layer over a few days (just don’t forget to cover your unused glue dish so it doesn’t dry up too!).
Wait for your pot to dry completely; this will usually take about 48 hours.
Once your creation is totally dry, flip it over, trim any loose edges, and transplant your seedlings.

Mix up your favourite pancake batter. Feel free to add in some cooked oatmeal for an added nutritional boost like we did!
Make one large and two small pancakes for each teddy bear you are making.
Place the large pancake in the middle of a plate and cut one of the small pancakes in half. Place each half on top of the large pancake to make your teddy ears, then place the other small pancake in the middle of the big one for the snout.
Add bananas, berries, raisins, or chocolate chips for the nose, eyes and mouth and your teddy bear is complete and ready to enjoy!
