Activity ideas:
Unfortunately, there is litter in many places in the local area. Picking up litter is a meaningful and physical activity that children should be involved in. Remember to provide gloves for everyone!
Once you have collected the litter, the children can use the materials creatively to make their own artwork or figures from what you have found. Feel free to bring along simple tools that the children can use under supervision, such as string, tape, scissors and simple knives.
