Creative Sustainability - The Art of Waste

Children investigate the ways that waste materials can be creatively reused. Younger children investigate some of the properties of waste materials and discuss the correct bins these materials should go into before reusing some of the materials in craft activities. Older children also investigate the properties of waste materials but then work independently or in groups to create a waste sculpture that they will then decorate.

Activity Intention:

• This activity is designed to help connect children to the wonders of the natural world through sensory and play-based learning.
