Activities That Utilise Natural/Recycled Materials

[cayleenash]

Hi, Could someone please help me with this question. Thank you

Choose an activity that children could participate in that utilises three natural or recycled resources. Activities could focus on one that implicates parents, a particular cognitive ability, or preparing the learning environment.

For parents could bring in boxes that you could use to make castles, cars, trains etc. I remember when my preschool room had an interest in animals, I asked parents to bring in boxes and we created a zoo in home corner with cardboard animals. We also had zoo tickets and tours... Another idea could be creating boats that float on water using plastic bottles, tubs etc.

Hope this helps,

A great activity could be creating a nature collage using three natural or recycled resources like leaves, twigs, and old magazines. Children can collect leaves and twigs outside and then use old magazine cutouts to create a picture or design on a piece of cardboard. This activity encourages creativity, fine motor skills, and can also be a fun way for parents to get involved by helping with the cutting and arranging. It also promotes environmental awareness and gives kids a hands-on way to learn about nature and recycling!
