There’s no denying that recycling is something that we all try to do. Even in small ways, we want to help divert waste from landfill sites and incinerators. These days, it’s quite easy to recycle a variety of materials. Plus, there are plenty of free recycling centers that one can use.

 

As a parent, it’s important to set a good example for your kids. One way of doing that, of course, is by promoting recycling. Now, you might think that recycling is a dull subject to talk about with your children. But, you can teach them about it in a fun and engaging way! Here’s how to do so:

 

Make some personalized recycling bins with your kids

 

We all know that children love to express their creativity. One way to do that is by creating personalized recycling bins with them. They can paint and decorate them how they want. Letting them take the lead here will encourage them to recycle. How? The answer is simple: you are letting them be responsible for something.

 

Create bins by category such as paper, plastic and so forth.

 

Turn recycling into a game

 

There are many craft projects you and your kids can do with recycled items. Paper and glass are just two examples of recyclable materials you can use for all kinds of projects!

 

Do some composting

 

Children love to wander around the garden and help their parents do some gardening. Composting is a way to recycle organic waste and use it to help your plants grow. Your kids can help in that process and find out how it all happens.
