Creativity for Kids


Old media made new again

We’re not “lion” when we say that CD’s are not biodegradable.

Recycling can help stop pollution, prevent health hazards, slow global warming and conserve natural resources. In addition to sending away your CDs to recycling centers, you have another option: transforming your CDs into art.
