MADISON, Wisc. -- The Wee Recyclers Early Childhood Environmental Education Program helps to teach children to become Wee Recyclers. Materials are designed for use with 3 to 5-year-olds in early child care settings, however, most activities can be modified for use with other age groups.
The activities in the Wee Recyclers Activity Guide are simple, entertaining, hands-on and require minimal preparation time. They contain teacher background information, easy to follow directions and suggestions for additional related activities. In addition to the teacher directed activities, this guide includes: Wee Crafts, stories and plays, songs, games, take-home recycling ideas, a complete glossary, and a list of resources.
The entire program is available for download at http://www.dnr.wi.gov/eek/teacher/weerecyclers.htm. The printed activity guide will be ready for distribution by November 1. To order printed copies of the Wee Recyclers Activity Guide, contact Elisabeth Olson at (608) 264-9258.
