This easy-to-make craft from Girl Scout leader Gail Costner of Dallas, North Carolina, turns recyclables into self-confidence boosters.
Give your child some old magazines and the clean can or other container. Have her cut out images of things she can do, such as riding a bike, diving into a pool, and reading a book, then glue them to the side of the can. She'll have a constant reminder of her abilities and a handy place to store trinkets.
