About Recycling
Each bin shows its material instead of a color, because bin colors differ from place to place: a page for paper, a leaf for food scraps, a can for metal and a cup for plastic. Your child drags each piece of waste, from a newspaper to a plastic bag, into the bin where it belongs.
How to play
- Think about what the thing on the plate is made of.
- Drag it into the bin for paper, food scraps, metal or plastic.
- Or tap a bin, or press its number on a keyboard.
What your child practices
- Sorting waste by material
- Paper, metal, plastic and compost
- Caring for the planet
