Fun Stuff - After You've Finished Reading the Newspaper, What Can You Do With It?

The best thing to do with your newspaper when you're finished reading it is to take it -- and all the other used newspapers in your community, neighborhood or city -- to a recycling center where new paper can be made from the old.

That cuts down on the solid waste we have to get rid of and it saves the natural resources -- trees -- that are needed to produce paper.

But if you don't have a recycling center and can't start one, here are some other uses for your paper.

Pick some flowers and use the paper to wrap them in.
Line your kitty's litter box.
Make a paper mache' monster.
Put it on the floor while you're painting.
Make a hat.
Roll it into kindling for the fireplace.
Make a boat that sails and then sinks.
Wallpaper your room.
Make a telescope.
Make paper snowballs for throwing indoors or a house with a piano or an airplane that really flies.
Make a map or furniture.
Cut and paste your own book.
Give it to your local fish market.
Make your shoes fit.
Use it for sound effects.
Make toys for your cat.
Wrap presents.
Cover your books.
Make a paper fan, a funnel, a teepee or loudspeaker or a kite to explore the stratosphere.
Train a puppy.
