I use to hate getting junk mail. But, in the true spirit of not letting anything go to waste, I have found some fun and creative ways to put that pesky junk mail to good use.
- Scratch paper: Why buy scratch paper? Cut up junk mail that has one side blank. It’s great to give kids to color or draw on the blank side.
- Mail Call for the kids: Kids of all ages love getting mail. For younger kids turn it into a learning game, see how may letters or words they can identify or turn those color advertisements into item searches.
- Arts and Crafts: Use junk mail to protect your table during arts and crafts. Cut junk mail into strips for papier-mâché. Use pictures from junk and advertising mail for a collage.
