Junk Modelling in Nursery and Reception

Junk Modelling in Nursery and Reception

We are looking for junk modelling donations at our Early Years Campus. Junk modelling offers opportunities for developing children’s creativity using a range of open-ended, recyclable resources. It is also fantastic for developing fine and gross motor skills. Using different types of recycled objects enables children to learn about the basic properties of everyday materials – such as plastic, paper, cardboard, metal and wood – through a hands-on approach.

Next to Miss Angel’s office, you will find a donation area where you can drop off all your recyclable materials for our Nursery and Reception children to use in junk modelling and woodwork opportunities. We kindly ask that all donations that contained food or liquid are washed before, e.g. milk cartons.

Resources needed:

  • Egg cartons
  • Milk cartons
  • Cardboard boxes (big and small welcome)
  • Plastic lids
  • Plastic containers (example: yoghurt pots)
  • Metal lids
  • Corks
  • Kitchen rolls
  • Electrical items
  • Fabric

Thank you for your support!
