Decorate the Canvas Tote

1. Find the following items:
  • Canvas Tote
  • Markers
2. Decorate the canvas tote:
  • Use the enclosed markers to decorate the tote…this bag will accompany you on your shopping trips so style it as you’d like.
  • This tote is to be used for your own shopping purposes.  Instead of asking for a plastic bag, tell them you have your own bag to put your items in.  
  • Make the canvas tote fun and colorful or simple and sweet.
*Tips: 
  • Place a small piece of paper in the tote before decorating. This will prevent the marker from bleeding to the other side.
  • Can’t think of what to write, draw a picture! 

DIY Wildflower Seed Bomb

1. Find the following items:
  • Wildflower seeds
  • Paper
2. Tear a few sheets of paper into small pieces. 
3. Slowly add water and mix slowly until the mixture becomes sticky like dough
4. Add some of the wildflower seeds and roll into a golf-ball sized ball.
5. Let the seed bomb dry out. 
6. Scatter them where you want them to grow (preferably on top of soil or compost), and let nature do the rest.

Builder Tip* You should have enough supplies to create 2-3 seed bombs. 

DIY Butterfly Feeder

1. Find the following items:
  • Compressed Sponge (4.75×2.95 in.)
  • Twine
  • Sugar water
2. Bring two cups of water to a boil.
3. Stir in one cup of white sugar.
4. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.
5. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
6. Soak the sponge in the homemade sugar water and allow it to expand completely.
7. Wrap the twine around the sponge so that it cinches in the middle, and tie a knot. Be sure to leave some extra length of twine attached to hang the feeder from. 
8. Hang outside from a branch or awning.
8. Check often and Re-soak with sugar water as needed.

Make a Bee Bath

A bee bath is a simple bee water feeder that you can add to your garden or outdoor space. It’s a way of attracting pollinating guests to your yard over and over again.
1. Find the following items:
  • Small reusable planter tray
  • Rocks
  • Additional material (optional)
2. Wash the tray and rocks to be sure they are free from any pesticides.
3. Place the included rocks into the tray. These will provide a place for the bees to land near the water. (Optional: Add additional material to the bee bath, such as sticks, sea shells, or additional stones).
4. Later, fill the container with water and place it outside near plants or a garden. Refill it frequently to continuously attract bees to your space.

Reusable Straw

  •  Most plastic straws simply break into ever-smaller particles, releasing chemicals into the soil, air, and water that are harmful to animals, plants, people, and the environment.
  • Take this reusable straw with you when you are on the go and prevent the use of additional plastics in the environment. 

Reusable Ziploc

  • Use the reusable ziploc bag for leftovers or snack bags to prevent the use of additional plastics in the environment.
