We all love the festive season, but this year ask children to pause and think about how much extra waste is produced at this time; decorations, wrapping paper and crackers. Ask them to think of ways that they can reduce their waste.
What could they do any wrapping paper, cracker toys and party items? What changes could they make to generate less waste?
This brings up the important topic of sustainability at school. If you're not yet subscribed to Lyfta, you can access our
Beachcomber storyworld for free when you create a Lyfta starter account.
Beachcomber tells the story of Rob, an activist and artist from Cornwall who creates artwork from the plastic and waste he finds on the beach.
He uses his artwork to raise awareness about plastic pollution to inspire people to think about littering and the choices they make as consumers.
Children can watch this and be inspired to think of things to do with their Christmas waste. Perhaps, like Rob, they could create some art, maybe some cards and decorations.
