We encourage children to be conscious of the environment and think differently about how they can re-use, re-purpose and recycle the items they use on a regular basis. Help us by replenishing our supply of recycled items that children may then upcycle into artistic creations throughout the Museum. The spot...a Child's Museum needs a variety of clean and child-appropriate items kids can turn into robots, buildings, simple machines, art and more. Read on to find out what kinds of materials kids like best, and when you can drop them off.
