What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to use items that would normally get "pitched" in the trash, for loose part play?
This took a bit of prep, but worth every minute! I gathered a lot of loose parts listed below and got-glued magnetic squares to the backs of some of them!
I then took two soup cans and stripped them and taped the sharp lids for safety. I told my kiddos they could create recycled robots! They love it! My 7 year old and 4 year old loved stuffing the cans with "trash" and giving the robots funky hair. My 2 year old loved playing with all of the textured items within the table, specifically the bubble wrap 😂.
We paired this table with the book "Earth Ninja" which my kiddos adore, like all of the Ninja books!
