Get creative and have your child think of things that can be reused or recycled for this craft.

You will then need to cut the tissue or cereal box to create a frame, or glue together the Popsicle sticks.  Then you can use the newspaper comics, buttons and glue to decorate.  You can also create a hanger with the wire or use the magnet to create a frame that can hang on the refrigerator.  You can tape or hot glue the wire on the back of the frame and then tape a picture inside.
