Need an idea for a new craft project? Look in your recycling bin. See an old juice carton? You can turn it into an organizer for crayons, markers and other art supplies. Got a cardboard box? Create a stage for puppets to perform in. Your kids will be amazed by what you can do with old newspapers, cereal boxes, coffee cans, and milk jugs. Plus, by working on these recycled craft projects together, your kids will have the opportunity to see the power of recycling and reuse first hand. So take stock of what you have on hand in your home recycling center and follow our easy how-to instructions to make something great, and green, with your kids.

HOW TO: Make Scrumptious Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin Cupcakes

Jill Fehrenbacher — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:10:27 +0000

As the weather starts to get chilly and pumpkins seem to be congregating on every corner, this vegan pumpkin cupcake recipe will satisfy the heartiest fall sweet tooth. Why should pumpkin pie get all the attention at your Thanksgiving feast? Show your appreciation for pumpkins and all of nature’s bounty with this amazingly delicious and easy-to-make recipe for vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cupcakes that will impress all of your friends, vegans and non-vegans alike. This recipe is so simple and easy that even a 3-year-old can do it – as evidenced by the video above. Baking vegan cupcakes makes a great project for the pre-K set – with a little adult supervision of course. Without frosting (my preferred way of enjoying them), these cupcakes might be more aptly described as “muffins,” but they are majorly tasty and so scrumptiously sweet that they really don’t need the additional sugary slather on top. However, if you are a sucker for the sweet stuff, authors Isa Chandra and Terry Hope provide instructions for a cinnamon icing to accompany these cupcakes in Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World (a book I highly recommend as a holiday gift this season).
