book & a birdhouse anyone?

I don't know about you, but I haven't seen many books being printed on recycled paper.  At least, not kids books.  You would think with all the recycled paper out there, that publishing companies would be pushing the recycled paper option.  But maybe it doesn't work that way - what do I know?!

One thing I know for sure is how cute this line of eco-friendly recycled books are.  On a recent trip to the bookstore with my 2 year old McKenna, we came across these books.  She ran right up to them and excitedly pulled them all off the shelf (sorry Mr. Bookstore).  Printed on 98% recycled paper and eco-friendly inks - they are bright & engaging.  Her favorite are the chunky book towers which have 10 McKenna-sized books that feature fun subjects like shapes, baby animals and numbers.  I like them because they are recycled, cute as all get out and CHEAP!  And by cheap I mean inexpensive, not junky.  Seriously one of the cutest books I've ever seen cost us a whopping $6.99.  You might say "wow, that's pretty cool".  Cool it is, but theres more.  In the back of each of these delightful little books, there is an activity page with fun eco-friendly activities for kids & parents. 

So here's a fun little activity to keep everyone busy this fun-filled weekend!  One tip: pick up some bird seed BEFORE starting or else you may find yourself in pickle. 

We want to see your creations!  Post the picture special bird feeder on our facebook page and enter to win a special prize! 

Happy 4th of July to all our green babies and dont' forget the sunscreen!  Be safe!
