Nothing is just one thing - Sustainability awareness activities and engagement for preschool children (3-4 years)

Interactions and activities include:

Mystery material table
What do we notice?

Can paper have another life?

Second life atelier
What else could this become?

A useful invention
What does our class need?

A city that can change
What could we build next?
