Transmitting the importance of recycling to the little ones in the house is a task that may seem complex, but the truth is that we can transfer the fight for the environment to our daily lives without too much difficulty: through games and activities, we will achieve that boys and girls internalize the need to protect the planet through recycling. We show you that it is possible! Download our free guide on crafts here so that little ones can work on the values of recycling. For this reason, today we explain a series of activities to reuse waste at home and a list of websites where you will find a thousand and one craft ideas to do with recycled objects . These summer days are a great time to put them into practice! recycling-games-children Children's recycling activities to do at home To show them the amount of things that can be achieved by reusing waste and materials that, many times, we throw away without thinking, we are going to explain two very simple activities that you can carry out at home and that, without a doubt, will help the little ones realize everything that can be done with a little imagination and patience. Shall we launch? 1.
Make recycled paper These are the materials you will need to make your own homemade recycled paper: Used paper (not laminated) Scissors a basin A blender a drainer A sponge old fabric a mesh The procedure is very simple: first, you have to cut the paper into small pieces, which you must place in a basin and cover with hot water (more or less, twice as much water as paper). Let the paper soak for a while so that it absorbs water and then mix everything well and grind it with the help of a blender or a powerful mixer until Europe Mobile Number List it forms a paste. recycling-games-children Once you have this pasta, place it in the drainer and rinse it with cold water. Drain it again and then spread it on the mesh with a spoon until it is the size you want. This will be your future recycled folio!

To dry well, wrap the sheet with the fabric and place some weight on top - a book, for example - so that it does not curl and remains perfectly smooth. After a few hours, you will have a 100% homemade recycled sheet. Could it be easier? 2. Make a quilt with old t-shirts and clothes The amount of clothes we accumulate at home skyrockets when we have sons and daughters, so an excellent way to give them a new use—and to have a fun time with them—is to turn them into a quilt or blanket that they can use to play.
Cover up watching TV… Let's see how! Measure the size of the bed to know how much fabric you will need. Remember that the quilt should hang a few centimeters on each side, and that you will need to multiply the number of squares of fabric by two. Cut the old t-shirts into squares of different sizes, or the same size, depending on your preference. Place the squares two by two, filling them in the center with more fabric if you want it quilted. Join them at the edges until you get your new quilt. And that's it! You now have an all-terrain quilt to play with. You can do the same steps but instead of putting the pieces of fabric together to form a quilt you can create kitchen gloves, decorative pieces... And all 100% recycled! recycling-games-children Resources to practice recycling for boys and girls at home One of the most fun ways to teach the little ones in the house to recycle is by explaining to them that they can make a lot of crafts with objects that we throw away every day.
