Transform trash into treasure with Recycle and Play - a book of 50 enriching activities for young kids to have fun, create, learn, and help the planet. Using everyday items like cardboard, bubble wrap, lids, and egg cartons, children will engage in hours of exciting play at home while also learning about sustainable living.

Each project is process-oriented and encourages children to be creative, explore their senses, develop skills, and discover how things work. With tips on how to extend play and learning for each project, parents can engage their children to come up with fun additions and extensions of their own.

Organized by material, the zero-waste projects include a Car Garage and Ramp made from toilet paper tubes and cardboard, Mess-Free Bubble Wrap Painting, Busy Board Lid Activity, Alligator Letter Feed made from egg cartons, Milk Carton School Bus with family photos, and a Matching Memory Game made from wipe lids.

While each project includes clear step-by-step instructions and materials lists, parents are encouraged to adjust the activities to their child's interests and the materials they have on hand. Bond with your child, help them learn through play, and instill a lifelong respect for the environment with Recycle and Play.

Fun Tested!

Nothing can get by the scrutiny of an opinionated 7 year old. We pressure test our products in our own household and only list items that get the thumbs up of approval.

*No children were harmed in the testing process. All had fun though.

Eco-Friendly Packing Materials

We lovingly pack all orders using 100% compostable materials from Heaps Good Packaging. Open up your items, and throw the rubbish in the garden, not the bin.
