Category: Life Skills · Duration: ~5 min

Materials

• empty bottles, cans, paper, food scraps

1. Gather five items: an empty bottle, a banana peel, a piece of paper, a plastic bag, a tin can. 2. Show them your bins: "This one is for recycling, this one is trash, and this is for food scraps." 3. Hold up each item: "Where does this go?" Let them guess and place it. 4. Explain simply: "Recycling means this bottle gets turned into something new instead of going to a dump." 5. Make it routine: after snack time, they sort their own trash.
