SCRAPtastic Elephant Mobiles is suitable for early years and KS1. In this workshop students design, make and create individual elephant mobiles from recycled materials – as elephants never forget, these elephants remind students to ‘never forget about recycling!’

“The students left the workshop full of great ideas to recycle and re-use their rubbish. It has given our young children a foundation on which their knowledge can grow.” Reinwood Infant and Nursery School – Teacher Feedback.
