Juicy Juice is our favorite 100% juice to cool off on a warm day. Up-cycle your juice box into a fun planter craft idea for the kids.

I’ve officially lost track of how many days we’ve been home together. I just know that random projects and crafts have kept us all happy and sane!

Juicy Juice has been our #1 100% juice since I was a kid. Since we always have them on hand, we decided to take our empty juice boxes and up-cycle into a seed starter.

My kids love hanging out with and helping their grandfather water his plants in the garden. We went to him to grab our soil and seeds before getting started. (I have a black thumb.)
