Hi Ho Trashy-O
This is a game to teach people about trash, made entirely of trash! Perfect for tabling at events, and or educating small children.
Materials
The materials for this project can and should be improvised out of almost anything you can find in the trash.
Here is what we used:
From the trash:
Large cardboard boxes
Colored construction paper
Used water bottle
banana peel
aluminum can
glass jar/bottle
cigarette butts
empty cardboard box (small)
plastic bag
plastic six pack holder
Other stuff:
Paint (you could go without or make your own if you only want to use found items)
glue(if you are really hardcore, use old gum)
Tape
