Fun and educational repurposed crafting experiences for students from early childhood to secondary school settings.
We bring a variety of entertaining and educational crafting experiences to you.
These sessions can be tied in with a broad range of topics & subjects such as Sustainability, Environment, Waste Management, STEM, Design & Construct and Social Justice.
Sessions commence with a short discussion on your chosen topic as listed below, determined by your enquiry unit requirements. You may even choose for us to touch on a combination of topics.
The age and engagement of the group interaction will guide the direction and determine the complexity of the discussion.
The discussion is followed up with the children having access to a generous supply of clean and repurposed craft items which we provide, allowing them to be independent, resourceful and creative to produce their very own masterpiece. We provide some examples of creations which have been made completely of repurposed items, to help inspire the children with their own ideas.
The crafting component of the session concludes with everyone involved in a group pack up and tidy of the workspace. If there is time, we hold a very brief show and tell by a selected few children. A take home message will also be provided.
The discussion topic can be centred around the context of your learning unit.
What can & can’t be thrown in your household rubbish and recycling bins.
What actually happens when we throw something 'away' and the repercussions of sending waste to landfill.
How can we reduce the production of waste through practicing the Sustainability Rs, such as Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose.

Glue sticks, masking tape & sticky tape, scissors and where appropriate, hot glue guns (for adult use only) are also supplied to use for construction.
Prior to our visits, some educators like to have their students plan and draw their ideas as part of the process, which often results in some outstanding creations!
