Dig through the recycling bin and use recycling to encourage your kids to build and explore. This engineering STEM challenge for kids is perfect for Earth Day too!
When it comes to coming up with a quick boredom buster activity or loose parts play idea for the kids, I look no further than my recycling bin. The possibilities are endless with all the different materials that can be found in the recycling bin.
This STEM challenge for kids using recyclables encourages kids to build and explore without using glue and without using tape. What will they build?
The No Glue, No Tape Earth Day STEM Challenge for Kids
Since I wanted the kids to be able to explore all the possibilities with the materials and still return the items to the recycle bin, I challenged my kids to build a list of creations using only the materials on hand. No tape and no glue were allowed.
Come check out what five year old K built and grab the list of prompts for this STEM challenge.
