Plant a tree or window box: Planting a tree is a great way to learn about the natural world and to contribute to the environment. If you’re lacking in outdoor space, then a window box is a brilliant option too.
Revitalise old crayons: This fun and creative activity is a great way to recycle old scraps of crayons. Mix up colours into paper cups and microwave gently until the crayons melt. Pour the liquid into silicon moulds and, next day, you’ll have new and excitingly multi-coloured, crayons.
Organise a book or toy swap: This is an excellent way for the class to share items they no longer use and saves them from going to landfill.
Transform rubbish into something beautiful: Some difficult to recycle, and non-recyclable items, such as crisp packets or packaging material, can be used in art projects that all classes can get involved in.
Turn old pens into paint: If you and your class have old water based marker pens, don’t throw them away. Simply uncap the markers and leave them to soak in enough water to cover their tips. After a few days you’ll have a pot of paint ready to use.
