Small Friends Childcare

Celebrating Recycling Week at our center this November

We transformed our entire center into a hub of sustainable loose-part activities, inspired by the innovative approach from Victoria University. From our baby room to the Kinder room, children engaged with recycled materials—cardboards, empty jars, ribbons, paints, and more—unleashing their creativity and imagination.

Our educators embraced the concept of “risk play,” stepping back to let the children explore, manipulate, and create their own masterpieces. It was amazing to see how they turned simple materials into imaginative creations, proving that learning and fun don’t always require expensive toys.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the event a huge success! Together, we’re fostering creativity, sustainability, and a love for learning.
