Recycling through the Seasons

Description

Inspire exploration of environmental themes and personal values

Every season brings changes in nature, in children’s leisure activities and in what they can learn about the environment. This Recycling through the Seasons series offers a diversity of ideas for eco-friendly activities that match the seasons – everything from making non-toxic products for spring cleaning to creating a winter shelter for small animals. With an emphasis on the principles of the three ‘R’s: Reduce – Reuse – Recycle, the activities are low-cost and accessible while raising children’s awareness of practical steps they can take to help save the planet. They also offer an excellent springboard to motivate a host of discussions and further research on environment-related topics.
