Are
you a pack rat of recycled mateials and don't know what to do with it all?
One
of the best field trips I ever took my classes on was to a little shop in the
middle of nowhere called the Creation Station. This was a recycling depository
for the county. The lady who owned it thought that there were so many neat recyclables
that she opened up this shop and allowed kids to come in and create.
I
have always thought that was one of the coolest places for kids to go and make
a mess!
The
following is a list of recycleables that you may already have on hand. If you
are ever short for an activity, it's great to pull out a box of recycleables and
let the kids create whatever they want. It's fun to watch their imaginations wander!
