Fun Ways For Kids To Recycle: Stories And Crafts

Recycling and upcycling has become much more a part of everyday life than when I was a kid and everything went into one big trash can to head to the dump. Now we have one bin for general trash, one for compostable materials, and 4 boxes for other various items that can be recycled. In Japan it was even more complicated, but worth it. It’s much easier to do when it’s expected of you and it’s ‘normal’ than when you’re going it alone! In our home, we try to reuse and upcycle what we can even before it hits the recycling boxes. Every bit that hits those rubbish bins is the earth’s resources wasted (and our money, as well). But recycling isn’t always very exciting…so today I’m sharing some fun ways for kids to recycle that ‘junk’ around the house, as well as some story books and books with good information about how recycling works. Let’s bring up our children to be even better at saving the earth than we have been; it all starts at home and the examples we set!
