Upcycled Capri Sun Craft Projects

Capri Suns and other juice pouches are very popular items in my house. It is a must have on our grocery list all year round. I like that I can stock the bottom drawer of the fridge with Capri Suns and my girls can get their own drink anytime they want and I don't have to stop what I'm doing to get them a drink! They are great for the kids in the summer time because I can dish one out to my kids and their friends and never have to worry about them wasting any juice or having a bunch of cups that I have to wash at the end of the day! And of course, during the school year a lunch box wouldn't be complete without a juice pouch to wash down that ham and cheese sandwich or Lunchable!

Another great thing about Capri Suns is that you can recycle or I guess I should say upcycle them because you can make some really cool things from the empty Capri Sun juice pouches. Here are some craft ideas for converting your juice pouches into items you can use everyday.

The Kraft Foods the makers of Capri Sun has a great program called Be Green, Earn Green. They have partnered with Terracycle.net where they are recycling the used Capri Sun pouches into cool stuff for kids like bags and pencil cases. Visit the Capri Sun Kraft Foods website to find out how you can earn cash for your school or organization. And check out the Terracycle.net website to find more products that would normally be considered trash that are recycled into new products.

Teach your kids to be environmentally conscious and recycle or upcycle their juice pouches into some really fun crafts that you can all do together. If your not a crafty person you can easily purchase the upcycled Capri Sun products from Terracycle.net or at etsy.com.
