The fact is that kids are smarter and more intelligent than most of us. At times, they can come up with amazingly brilliant ideas that can put the best of us to shame.
Today, we are sharing some wonderful best out of waste ideas for kids. For kids who love to CREATE things and derive pleasure from doing so, instead of just being glued to TV screens, game consoles and laptops as long as they are awake.
If you are a youngster who is always looking for good ideas for inspiration or have a kid who likes to do things and want to give him new ideas, here are 10 out of the box ideas.
And the best thing about these is that you do not need to rush to the market to buy expensive stuff to get your kid to do it.
In most likelihood, you will have enough junk and trash stashed up in the hidden corners of your home. In your basement, the attic, the store room or that room in the backyard.

10 Best Out of Waste Ideas for Kids
Here are some best out of waste ideas for kids which will help you get rid of all that junk and also keep them occupied.
1.Tray Made out of an Old Photo Frame
If you have an old photo frame which you no longer use, ask kiddo to paint it to make it look fresh and new.
Pick up a pair of lovely, intricately carved cast iron handles and attach them to the edges with shallow screws.
And in that picture insert, use a fabric which you would like to use as the base of your tray. Just stick it on to the cardboard using some glue/ good adhesive.
Finally, add a glass. That will prevent the fabric below from getting soiled and also make the tray much sturdier.
If you have a discarded frame at home, the tray will not cost you more than $3-5, depending upon the handles and the glass you choose for it and your kid will be so happy to have made something for his mom!
2. Bookmarks Made out of Popsicle Sticks
Make some cute looking bookmarks for your grandparents using popsicle sticks, wiggly eyes, glue, felt tips pens and the bits and pieces of fabrics you can find in your mom’s DIY kit.
3. A key chain from an old, expired credit card
My 11 year old son made me this key holder yesterday, using his dad’s old credit card. He simply punched a hole into the expired card, run an old ring through it.
And lo! You have a cool key chain out of waste credit card.
That was easy, wasn’t it?
