MessA little messy

You need

  • Gloves
  • A bag for trash and one for recycling
  • A grown-up helper

Let's play

  1. Walk around your street or park with gloves on.
  2. Grown-ups pick up anything sharp or yucky; kids point it out.
  3. Sort what you find into trash and recycling.
  4. Look at how much cleaner the place is!
Grown-up tip: Count the pieces you collected and celebrate with a high five.
