Create a Pretend Play Recycling Center and Repair ClinicPreschoolers love to learn about the world around them and the people in their community. We can teach our preschoolers about recycling, sanitation workers, and the importance of taking care of the Earth. With Earth Day right around the corner, it's a great time to teach children about the importance of recycling by transforming your dramatic play space into a recycling center. You can create your own recycling center by gathering a variety of recyclable materials. Be sure to spread the word to your clients that you are looking for these items-chances are they have some they can donate! We've also included printables to create a Repair Clinic Dramatic Play invitation. Learning that items can be repaired and the basic process is another way to be earth friendly.
