Care for the environment

Ten ways to invite your child to participate to keep the environment

1. Be creative. Collect used paper that one side is still clean, or a cardboard cereal box. Put on the table which is used to draw a little. He can draw on the unused side of the paper. As a bonus, you can wrap the gift with the paper "the work of" the little guy.

2. Collect raindrops from the roof. Put commonly used tools to help your child when you are watering plants, below the guttering. After the rain, he will be amazed to see where the water is full. And water can he used for watering plants.

3. Jump and land it. "I used to put milk cartons, aluminum cans, or old box on the floor. Then let my son jumped up and stepped on it until it becomes flat for easy recycling. "He satisfies his age to destroy the goods, while doing good for the environment."

4. Give your child tasks to remind you turn off the lights every time they leave the room. They can give you a "violation ticket" if you forget. And they will always remember to save energy.

5. The roads out. Pick your own melon or mango plantation near the house or in the fruit garden. Looking at where food comes from can help your child understand why we must always keep and care for the earth. Plus, you buy local produce and save the plastic wrap. Maybe you can try a package of picking fruit in the Garden Fruit Mekarsari.

6. Play with trash. Create event clean up the waste into 'treasure hunt'. Make a list with pictures of plastic bottles, soda cans, and waste paper. Ask your child to 'hunt' and recycle their findings. (Make sure they wear gloves!) Those who get most goods, entitled to a prize, such as money you can from the sale of recycled goods.

7. Create a "lab toy". Collect waste - ranging from fruit juice boxes until Barbie feet apart. Put in a box along with glue, tape, and rope / yarn. Let them experiment and make new toys 'artwork'.

8. Once upon a time, create a Day Without Electricity. That is, turn off the television, playstation, and just let them play with toys that do not require batteries or electricity.

9. Barter baby clothes. Collect jeans or clothes that are too small. Then, change with the 'findings' other moms. In this way, you can get new clothes that fit with the body of the child. Also, more 'healthy' for the earth and make sure your bag, rather than having to buy a new one.

10. Remind the easy way. "I like the song The 3R's (reduce, reuse, recycle) the soundtrack from Curious George," said Kristi Walsh, mother of three children. The result, they wash their hands together in order to conserve water. It's the easiest way to remind them to help the environment.
