Conserve and Connect!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve probably seen lots of creative ways people are connecting with friends and family while still practicing social distancing. Things like hanging pictures in windows, waving from cars, and video calling are just a few examples. For today\u2019s eco activity, we want you to connect with friends or family by creating a forest friendly card by using only recycled or natural materials. Send it to them in the mail, leave it on their doorstep, or text them a picture of it to brighten their day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is not to use any \u201cnew\u201d paper products for this project. Canada is lucky enough to have some of the world\u2019s healthiest and most beautiful forests. Let\u2019s help keep it that way by reducing and reusing paper products!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to make a homemade card:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Find a base for your card, like cereal or snack boxes, paper plates or an old greeting card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Cut it into the shape you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: <\/strong>Write a kind message to a friend or family member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: <\/strong>Decorate it with things from nature, like leaves, twigs and pine cones. You can use crayons to \u201crub\u201d the imprint of leaves onto your card too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Decide on the best and safest way to send it along!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to share it on social media using the hashtag #EarthMonthforAnimals<\/em><\/strong> !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus challenge: <\/strong>Make your own recycled paper by following these instructions.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
