Go green with these fun Earth Day crafts for kids — including a stained glass planet, recycled bird feeder, tissue paper globe and more.

Try recycling a bit more, looking for recycled products at the store and trying to extend the life of an item by fixing it or passing it on to someone else.

In celebration of Mother Earth, try these fun Earth Day crafts for kids.
