Trash Nest

This activity is designed to encourage children to consider how they can reduce waste and find creative ways to reuse and repurpose materials. They will also learn how much waste we create collectively and what can be done to reduce waste when we work together. Younger children will collect waste over a week then sort and measure it. Older children will collect waste and create a display that tells the story of waste in their local community or the service and come up with a plan to reduce it.

Activity Intention:

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