This is the Garbage Trucks for Children video by Blippi. If your child loves garbabe trucks and wants to learn about recycling this Blippi video is the perfect choice.
Relating the Lesson to other lessons:
I just thought of something! We've been look at the number three. Well, there is also a trinity in garbage! It's called Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Lesson project:
Collect up as much 'junk' in the house as you can and save it to create sculptures later. Some common household discards that are good for this project are toilet paper rolls, bottles and lids.
You'll need glue and tape as well to adhere this junk into sculptures. And of course, you can also gather up some painting supplies to make them pretty colors.
Let's go do a search on Pinterest! Just typing in 'recycling kids' will bring up a slew of crafts, activities and projects. It's important not to get stuck here, class! I know I always want to just keep looking and looking and never stop to actually do what I found. Give yourself a time limit and then Choose something and do it! Anything will be fun and will go with the lesson.
Here are my favorites:
Toilet paper rolls: Silly monster rolls, Colorful owls, Cute cars with lid wheels.
Plastic cups: Flowers,
Milk Jugs: Bird feeders, fairy houses,
Egg Cartons: Sail boat, baby turtles, fairies,
