Send some “hoppy” mail to friends and family while exploring the benefits of recycling!

  • Hop to the Recycling Bin: Reusing plastic materials isn’t just creative — it’s also super easy! Ask each student to contribute to this craft by bringing their bottle caps from home — use any extras for other crafts later in the year!
  • Behind the Scenes: Ever wonder what happens to your recycling once it’s picked up? Travel on the recycling journey with your students to discover the benefits of recycling to see how a little goes a long way!

Why is recycling so important? Besides making really cute craft projects, reducing and reusing plastic helps our environment. From reducing our carbon footprint to keeping our ocean’s clean water, there are many important reasons to keep a blue bin in the classroom!
