Play & Learn with Recycled Materials

We reuse, upcycle, and repurpose recycled materials each and every day in our home for play and learning! Recycled materials are free and challenge us to think creatively about how we use everything around us instead of simply throwing it away. Here are our very favorite ways that we've recycled items for homeschooling.

I received an email from a reader once that asked how we can afford to do all the play based learning activities we do with our kids. I almost laughed out loud because if she could only see my basement! I keep almost everything that I think we can reuse for play and education. Sometimes the ideas don't come to me right away but you can pin and check out this page any time you want to reuse a free material for your kids. We've come up with the plans already and we'd love for you to follow along!
