Recycling for Good Cause

Whether it's self-driven or influenced, everyone's talking about going green nowadays. In hope of reducing my carboon footprint, besides using energy-saving light bulb, reusable shopping bag and travelling in public transport, I recycle materials as toys for Rynae too! I've always love mint chewy gums and after chomping them, there're hardy bottles that I thought could be put to better use than to fling them into rubbish bins. Rynae loves to add ingredients like salt and pepper into her 'soups' when she plays masak masak so I figured out that she could include these bottles into her 'kitchen cabinet'! As she is learning to read and recognise words now, I printed colour-coded ingredient name labels and stuck them onto the bottles so that hopefully she could identify the ingredients and use them appropriately! See? Learning need not be stressful. Children can pick up a wide range of skills and knowledge through play, in a non-threatening environment too.
