Trash Sorting Activity, Ages 3–7","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGive your young child a hands-on way to care for the earth with this gentle trash sorting activity. Hello, Eco Warriors! invites children ages 3 to 7 to sort, match, and learn where each piece of rubbish belongs — metal, plastic, glass, paper, organic, and e-waste. Set it up as a shoebox sorting station or lay out the laminated bin mats on the floor for quick, repeatable play. Either way, it's the kind of activity children return to again and again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Sorting Guide (Poster or Mini Booklet) — Shows what belongs in each of six bins: metal, plastic, organic, glass, paper, and e-waste.
