Material reciclável vira brinquedos em escola de educação infantil

Abstract

The practice of Environmental Education at school presents alternatives for the involvement of the entire school community with continuous and non-specific actions. The main objective was to propose educational actions that can be developed with Early Childhood Education students, through a didactic sequence proposal on environmental education, with the making of toys through the use of recycled materials, as it is through games that children learn and can develop emotional, physical and psychological skills. For the proposal to be developed, it will be necessary a roadmap to carry out all the steps within an established deadline. Initially, a note will be sent to parents about the work to be done by the teacher with the students. A survey study can be carried out on the ideas that children have of the topics to be addressed. In the next step, the parents will deliver the requested materials and the teacher will be able to hold conversation circles to explain the proposal's themes. After all the discussions with the children, it will be time to show the recycled materials, and each child will be able to appropriate these materials to create something they want to play with. The making of scrap toys brings, in addition to the benefits of playful learning, awareness of issues related to the environment. In this way, children play by learning the importance of recycling and protecting the environment, building their own toys and developing in physical, social and cognitive aspects.
