Week 5:  Earth Day & Recycling

Mix and match activities that you like - repeat favorites, skip unpopular ones, above all - HAVE FUN LEARNING!

​

All activities are designed using items you may have on hand - feel free to improvise!  After an activity, save the supplies - you'll find they can usually be reused with another activity!

​

**Helpful hints:

     If you do not have access to a printer, most pages are easily reproduced by hand.

     If you do not have paint or playdough on hand, homemade paint and playdough recipes are posted under Supplies & Suggestions.
