Show the kids how to recycle those old puzzle pieces into this pretty Puzzle Piece Christmas Tree designed by the FreeKidsCrafts Team. It’s fun to craft with recycled materials and Earth friendly too.

Trivia:

We will have to cut down half a million trees just to produce Sunday newspapers every week. Recycling of 1000 pounds of newspaper can help to save 8 trees, 200 gallons of oil and many other useful resources. Source: Easy Science For Kids – Recycling Facts for Kids
