The word junk art can be used interchangeably with what we know as recycled art, which is art that uses objects and materials that are usually thrown away after being used. It follows that junk art for kids is creating the opportunity for children to make use of waste materials such as bottles, bottle caps, and/or magazines to create something. Not only does it cultivate environmental awareness, but it also provides kids the opportunity to express their creative side economically and use materials that are accessible.
