we made these out of garbage

I made these with my preschoolers out of trash. We painted food boxes and bags and such. The kids had a blast. How can you save some trash and turn it into a treasure? That is my challenge to you this weekend, especially if you are on east coast and having a snow day today.

Hi!
To make Joey:
We save boxes from cereal, taco kits, mac and cheese, etc. and then we paint. We taped them all together. His arms are straws. His nose and ears are this foam stuff. Anything will work.
For Snowy:
Brown bags painted white
yarn and pipe cleaners for scarf and carrot nose. You can make large with big bags or mini with lunch size bags. Fill with old mail, newspapers, etc.
