Recycling and reusing are skills that can be developed in early child care programs. This activity guide is intended to help teach children (ages 3-5) about recycling using simple, hands-on activities. Teacher-directed activities involve setting up a recycling center, sorting recyclable items, landfills, litter, a recycling alphabet, and ways that nature recycles. Each activity contains teacher background information, directions, and suggestions for additional related activities. Additional resources include stories and plays, songs, games, take-home recycling ideas, a glossary of 31 terms, and a list of 40 resources. A packet of supplementary materials complements the guide and contains posters; a set of recycling labels; 34 related crafts with instructions; masters of activity sheets that can be reproduced and taken home by the children; props; and patterns.
