Boredom is not an option once you learn to recycle and reuse items that can be found around the house! Last week's library program used cardboard boxes, toilet paper tubes, duct tape and glow-in-the dark bouncy balls to create ball runs. This activity took a lot of patience and experimentation to get the balls to properly run their courses. This week's story I'm Trying to Love Garbage by Bethany Barton was a great book about the ways garbage is recycled in nature and in cities.
