It’s not Earth Day, but the Library has figured out a fun way to reuse our trash!
Our Maintenance Man was very thoughtful and started saving the boxes that our trash bags come in so that they could be recycled. But then, he brought them to the children’s area and threw them on the floor! What a mess—you are not supposed to make a mess at the library!
The Librarians were very worried about the trash on our favorite ABC Rug, but as it turns out, those boxes are the perfect size for building towers, creating castles, making pathways…the possibilities are endless! It has been wonderful to see the children work together to build SUPER TALL towers and fantastic buildings. The kids have been building innovative box creations all day!
Thank you, Mr. Schaller, for throwing those boxes on the floor!
Parents, have you ever given your child a plain cardboard box? It is amazing how an empty box—a piece of trash—can create hours of entertainment! If you want some creative ideas on what to do with an empty box, check out our non-fiction section, where we have some books that have great ideas on how to make “trash” into treasures, and don’t worry, it’s not just about boxes! Check out The Cardboard Box Book, 745.54 Walsh, and see what you and your family can do with an empty box! You might also want to try Creating by Recycling, located at 745.5 Llimos, to branch out to other trash creations. In the words of the famous Oscar the Grouch, “Close your eyes and dream of all the wonderful Trash that's yet to come.”
Be sure to stop by the library before our box blocks get recycled!
