Today we are going to talk about the 3 R’s. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Review once again on recycle; tell the children that instead of throwing something away have them think of ways to reuse it so it doesn’t end up in landfills. Reuse means to use an item for another purpose. For example, if you have an old t-shirt and think of throwing it away instead take pieces of the fabric combined with other old clothes and make a quilt out of them. Reduce means to try and use and take only what you need. For example if you were going to do art and glue pieces of paper; you should only take enough paper that you will use in order to not waste and have to throw away extra paper.
This is a cute video to watch with your children with a catchy Jack Johnson tune all about The Three R’s. If you wanted, you could show the children what the letter R looks like.

Click here to watch the resurrection eggs video for Day 9. The resurrection eggs are a great way to help keep the focus on Jesus this Easter season. This is a wonderful way to share with children what the Bible says about the death and resurrection of Jesus. You can also use a children’s Bible, books and pictures to help tell the story. I love how these eggs bring this amazing story to life, so let’s crack open an egg and learn about the Easter story together! If you’d like to make your own eggs here is the video on how to do that.

Take an old milk carton that had been cleaned out and cut two openings on opposite sides of the clean carton. Now allow your child paint the birdhouse with nontoxic paint however they would like. Once the house has dried you can help your child add a perch by poking holes below the openings and slip a dowel through the holes. Fill the bottom of the feeder with birdseed or your very own mixture of nuts, corn and sunflower seeds. Then take string and hang the birdhouse.
