National Recycling Week - The Paper Cycle

This activity is designed to show children where our paper and cardboard come from, and how using less paper and cardboard can use less trees. Children are asked to look at a range of products that come from trees – including paper, cardboard and wood – and to experiment with adding water to these products to see how they respond to water. By participating in this activity it is hoped that children understand that paper comes from trees and that we can help trees (and our environment) by recycling paper.

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