Recycle
- Check with your sanitation department or waste service to find out what you need to do to get items ready to recycle from home. Then, set up and label empty cardboard boxes to help children separate items for recycling: aluminum, plastic, cardboard, newspaper, etc.
- Start "Recycling Tales." Have children think about what items may become when they send them off to be recycled. For example, what plastic items do they think their plastic soda bottle might become—a toy car with sirens, a comb, or outdoor furniture? Or, what would the paper from that old phone book look like if they saw it again—a coloring book, a birthday card, a library book?
- Help your child go through toy boxes and drawers to choose those toys and clothes that could be "recycled" for a younger child.
