A term that you may not have heard before, but that is becoming more prevalent, is “boomerang generation.” You may not even know it exists. However, there are many families across the United States and the world that are in the midst of learning about the boomerang generation first-hand.

Earth Day Craft: Tin Can Herb Pots
Children want to be a part of Earth Day and there are many ways that you can encourage that desire. One way is to provide them with the materials to make an Earth Day craft. Tin can herb pots are a great way to learn to recycle and learn about growing herbs.

There’s nothing difficult about the craft, but an adult may want to ensure the edges of the can aren’t sharp so that little ones don’t get hurt.
