Introduction
These printable cards are great for extending your child's knowledge and understanding of the world around them as they learn about the environment and the ways they can help to protect and look after it - in this case, by recycling and saving water. The cards are also a good way for them to learn about taking responsibility for their actions.
How to extend the magic
Next time you are sorting out the recycling, get your child involved. They can help you sort different materials into separate bags or boxes. Explain which things can be recycled and which can't. Try to think of another eco-friendly thing you and your child could do together to help the environment, eg walking instead of using a car or bus, watering your garden with rainwater (which you have collected in a bucket or water butt).
