Instructions
1. Explain to the children that when we drop trash on the ground, we are "litter
bugs." This trash can wash into streams and cause problems for animals,
plants, and people. We need to make sure
litter goes into trash cans and recycling bins.
2. Have each child wad up a piece of
newspaper. They should make a ball about
the size of a baseball. Use tape
to keep it in a ball shape.
3. Have the children select
plastic utensils for legs, a
plastic cap for a hat, and
wiggle eyes. They can then glue or
tape these items onto their litter bugs.
4. Arrange these litter bugs around the room
to remind everyone that litter goes in
specific places.
Assessment
Consider the following:
* Can each child make a paper ball body?
* Can each child add limbs, a cap, and eyes to a paper ball body?
