An integral part of the mission of The Scrap Box is the educating of children and adults in creativity. Our unique materials are fun and easy to use. You can schedule a workshop for preschool and elementary classes, Scout troops, summer camp field trips, Headstart parents and teachers, teen parenting classes, and college educational methods classes.
A workshop structure is flexible and can be designed to meet curriculum needs, enrichment activities, seasonal events, Scout badge requirements, or other interests. Children gain a broader understanding of the re-use aspect of recycling and learn about the important role The Scrap Box plays in keeping good junk out of the landfill; they exercise their creativity and problem-solving skills in making a project; and they enjoy shopping for a small bag of materials to take home for further discovery.
Workshops
for children are 1 1/2 hours long and include a short disscusion about "reduce, re-use, recycle," making a project , and shopping
for a bag of materials. Minimum charge is $75 or $6/participant
(whichever amount is higher).
Teachers' Workshops can also be scheduled. The participants are shown how to use our materials to make age-appropriate learning materials, and how to encourage children to use their imaginations. Call for details and pricing: 734/994-0012.
