The Genius in Kids

"...kids are the ultimate upcyclers."

Kids have a knack for turning trash into treasure. Whether it's #repurposing old clothes or creating new toys out of cardboard boxes, kids are the ultimate upcyclers. Here are some hilarious examples of kids upcycling:

1. The fashion-forward toddler: One three-year-old girl in Texas decided that her dad's old T-shirts would make the perfect dresses. With a pair of scissors and some tape, she transformed the oversized shirts into fashionable new outfits. Move over, Project Runway!
2. The cardboard box fortress: Every kid knows that a cardboard box is not just a box - it's a spaceship, a castle, or a secret hideout. One group of kids took it to the next level by building an entire fortress out of cardboard boxes. They even added a drawbridge and a moat (made of water, of course).
3. The #DIY musical instruments: Kids love making noise, and what better way to do it than with homemade musical instruments? One creative kid made a guitar out of a cereal box and rubber bands, while another made a drum set out of empty cans and plastic containers. The next generation of rock stars, perhaps?
4. The recycled art exhibit: One class of kindergarteners in California created an entire art exhibit using only recycled materials. From bottle caps to old CDs, these kids turned trash into beautiful works of art. Who says garbage can't be glamorous?
5. The eco-friendly entrepreneur: One enterprising kid in Australia started her own business selling upcycled jewelry made from old bottle caps. Not only did she reduce waste, but she also made a tidy profit. Interesting, right?

So, the next time you think about throwing something away, just ask yourself: can this be #upcycled? Kids have proven that anything is possible with a little creativity and a lot of imagination.
