talk about it

Reusing household items for a different use is a great way to reduce waste. Explain to your child, “To reuse means to use again and again.” Think about household items, like a milk carton or an empty egg carton. You and your child can fill them with uncooked rice, popcorn kernels, or dry beans to make a different kind of instrument! Now, get ready to make some music!
