SCRAPtastic recycling workshops inspire creativity in students of all ages and abilities. In each workshop students discover the importance of the 6 R’s (rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, repair, recycle) through interactive activities; and create individual artworks from recycled materials.

SCRAPtastic Eleplanters can be differentiated to suit either early years, KS1 or KS2. In this workshop students design, make and create individual elephant planters from recycled milk cartons – as elephants never forget, these elephants remind students to ‘never forget about recycling!’
“What a great idea! The children had a fantastic time and we were given lots of practical recycling ideas.” Pentland Infant and Nursery School – Teacher feedback.
A fantastic workshop to explore waste and recycling; it gives real understanding to students as to where our rubbish goes, and how by thinking carefully about individual actions we’re starting to make a difference to our local and global environments.
