Edible Earth pizza!

Start with a store-bought circular cheese pizza, or make your own with homemade dough, sauce & cheese. To decorate, use fresh vegetables that you have washed & cut into small pieces. Kids & adults can get creative designing the Earth. Here are some ideas: try green vegetables (broccoli, green peppers) for land & mountains. Add extra cheese for the ocean waves or mix with cut mushrooms. Add boats (red peppers), fish (orange peppers), or land features (yellow peppers).

Recycled earth sculpture!

Gather things to recycle: a ball ready for retirement, paper towel rolls, plastic lids, old bags, newspapers & magazines. (If you don't have a ball to spare for the project you can crumple newspaper into a big ball shape & tape it together firmly.) Glue or tape paper over the ball-- try strips of tissue paper, an old shopping bag or brown grocery bag. (Using strips helps keep the covering smooth.) You can paint the ball or start decorating with your recycling materials. To add specific features, like buildings, birds, or people, you can draw them or cut pictures out of old newspapers, catalogs or magazines.
