id=\"la-importancia-del-reciclaje-para-ninxs\">The importance of recycling for children  <\/h2>\n\n<p>Recycling is a fundamental action to <strong>care for and preserve our planet<\/strong>.\nTherefore, it is essential to teach children from childhood about the importance of recycling, as they will be responsible for the future and <strong>must learn to be aware of their impact<\/strong> on the environment.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Recycling not only contributes to the conservation of natural resources, it also reduces the amount of waste generated and prevents water, air and soil pollution.\nIn addition, by recycling, <strong>children learn the value of responsibility<\/strong> and respect for the environment in which they live.\nEncouraging children to recycle is an effective way to instill in them values and habits that will allow them to be committed and conscious citizens in the future.    <\/p>\n\n<p>To facilitate this learning, we want to do our bit with ideas of games to play with the little ones, so that <strong>through play they begin to become aware of<\/strong> the importance of caring for the environment.\nAttention!   <\/p>\n\n<h2

id=\"hueveras-para-tetris\">Tetris egg cups  <\/h3>\n\n<p>To do this you need two <strong>boxes of<\/strong> approximately <strong>30 eggs<\/strong> each.\nPaint one of them white, and with the other box of eggs you will make the pieces by cutting them exactly like the different figures that the original game has.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Finally, <strong>paint them in different colors<\/strong> (red, green, purple, blue&#8230;) and you will be able to fit them into the egg carton painted white, so you can start playing.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"las-canicas-en-tu-arbol\">Marbles in your tree  <\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>For this game you need a<\/strong> 30cmx40cm <strong>cardboard<\/strong>, you will have to cut some oval holes on the sides (they will simulate handles), and some marbles.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In the middle of the cardboard draw a 20cmx20cm square so you can draw a tree inside it.\nCut small holes in the tree to put the marbles in.\nThen cut 4 pieces of wood of 20cm to create a frame that will prevent the marbles from slipping out or getting lost.    <\/p>\n\n<p>To play you just have to move the tree until all the marbles fit into the holes.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"juego-con-vasos-y-un-pin-pon\">Set with glasses and a pin pon  <\/h3>\n\n<p>For this game you will need <strong>25cmx6cm cardboard strips<\/strong>, 4 triangles of 8x6x6cm, 4 small paper cups and a ping pong ball.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Glue the 4 strips of cardboard with silicone to form a square.\nThen glue the 4 triangles in each corner to make it firm.\nYou will form a kind of frame.\nNow glue a glass on each side with silicone, and that&#8217;s it.\nIt will look like a square wheel.      <\/p>\n\n<p>The children can rotate our invention in different positions and move the ping pong ball from one cup to another just by the movements.\nThe child will be able to put the ping pong ball into the cups by turning the square.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mete-tus-fichas\">Put your chips in!  <\/h3>\n\n<p>You will need a 30x49cm cardboard, two 49x4cm strips, and two 30x4cm strips that you will have to glue to the sides of the cardboard with glue or silicone to <strong>form a box that will simulate the field hockey field.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>You will also need another 29x6cm strip with a square cutout in the middle, to fit the chips to be played with.\nGlue the strip with silicone in the middle of the box we formed before.   <\/p>\n\n<p>On the sides of each &#8220;field&#8221; we will make a hole respectively, to place a rubber band.\nThe rubber band will be fastened with a clip, but first we will pass it through the holes.\nThe clip is used to keep the rubber band in place.\nRepeat this action on the other side of the box.     <\/p>\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time to choose tokens, choose bottle caps, 3 of one color and 3 of another color.\nPlace <strong>the lids of each color on their respective sides<\/strong> and use the rubber to throw them at the same time. <strong>The player who gets all his pieces in<\/strong> the opponent&#8217;s field wins.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"crea-tus-palabras\">Create your words  <\/h3>\n\n<p>You will need a toilet roll, and a 15x15cm cardboard.\nIn the middle of the cardboard you will have to make a hole the same size as the roll.\nGlue the roll on top of the hole and cover it with a plastic cup, gluing it with silicone.    <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Collect some metal plates<\/strong> (from beer bottles, coke or other soft drinks) and write different letters on the bottom.\nPlace them inside the roll and with small movements place them around the glass.   <\/p>\n\n<p>With a popsicle stick and a magnet glued to it, you can pull out the little plates of the invention to form words.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"encesta-la-canica\">Basket the marble  <\/h3>\n\n<p>For this game you will need a 22x44cm cardboard and circles of 7 cm in diameter.\nPaint them in Pac-Man colors and make a cut as if it were a mouth.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Then make a small hole in each of them to hold some hooks.\nAdd some eyes to give fun and credibility to the figures.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Cut 2x2cm squares of cardboard to give them a little height, and thread the hooks through so that the circles are held in place on the large cardboard base.\nGlue a popsicle stick to the top of the cardboard base.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Then make a small round basket with a toilet roll and make a base of the same diameter, glue them together and then with silicone glue the basket on the bottom of the cardboard, ready to play!  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Take marbles and pass them from mouth to mouth until you reach the basket.  <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ordena-tus-gusanos\">Order your worms  <\/h3>\n\n<p>Print on a sheet of paper 3 sides of a worm in different colors, and look for covers of the same

id=\"las-3-r-del-reciclaje-reducir-reutilizar-y-reciclar\">The 3Rs of recycling: Reduce, reuse and recycle  <\/h2>\n\n<p>The 3Rs of recycling &#8211; <strong>reduce, reuse and recycle<\/strong>&#8211; are fundamental principles for promoting efficient waste management and contributing to environmental conservation.\nThese actions not only help to minimize the negative impact on the planet, but can also generate economic and social benefits.   <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reduce<\/strong>: We can choose to buy products with less packaging, use reusable bags instead of disposable plastic ones, avoid food waste and opt for durable products instead of disposable ones.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reuse<\/strong>: Many items that we consider as garbage can have other uses.\nFor example, glass containers can be used as food containers, plastic bottles can become flower pots or containers for storing liquids, and the same goes for clothes, they can be destined to charities or sold on second-hand platforms.   <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recycling<\/strong>: To do this, it is necessary to separate waste correctly and deposit it in the corresponding containers.\nRecycling saves natural resources, reduces pollution and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills.\nBy recycling, new products can be obtained from materials such as paper, glass, plastic and metal.    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Reducing, reusing and recycling allow us to reduce waste generation, <strong>make the most of resources and contribute to the conservation<\/strong> of our planet <strong>.<\/strong> \nRemember, <strong>every little action counts<\/strong> and we can all do our part for a more sustainable world.\nOpt for <a
