I use them to make cards simple and easy. take the tray and lightly draw ( so you dont poke threw the tray) with a pen or pencil what you want the card to look like. remember the image will be fliped when you punt it on the paper so, letters and such should be drawn backwards so that you can read them when you are done. after you draw your image grab some markers (not sharpies) and color in your image. set aside. pick out the paper you want to use and fold it how you wish. grab a sponge or spray bottle and lightly moisten your paper. then turn the tray over colored side down on the paper. For little kids it's easier to put the paper on top of the colored image than the other way around. press down and be care full not to move the paper or tray. then pull back evenly and you will have a quick and easy card. You can use this to make pictures and posters and other things as well. try useing a paper bag as your paper and recycle even more!!!!!!!!

I started taking cardboard food boxes like cereal boxes, etc. and making postcards from them. I open up the box so it is flat and then run it through my paper cutter. I end up with free, colorful postcards and the boxes are recycled. I use a lot of postcards to enter sweepstakes.

Most of the time, they would toss them into the trash or scatter them around the campus. What I did, is I ask that they bring all plastics to me to recycle, I have a large tub to collect them. At the end of the semester, we use the money from the recycling to have a pizza party!! This way, the kids are excited to see the bottels multiply, and they even pick up bottles other kids have thrown on the floor!! Many pick up recycleables on their way to school!!

Probably a little bite of both. I really like to shop at Aldi's because you bring your own bags or use their boxes. I still feel funny dragging around cloth bags. Do recycle or am I just cheap?
