Reuse and Recycle Summer Program & Garage Sale!


Help Creative Minds ReUse and ReCycle!


Creative Minds Learning Centers are replacing equipment and toys this summer with newer, Eco friendly and Quality items. What to do with our lovingly used equipment and to help raise funds for the new items? Why not have a Summer Community Garage Sale! We would love donations from families to help this be a success!  We will be working with a local homeless shelter to donate clothing and items not sold in the sale. Please save items and let your school's Director know if you would like to help! The date is scheduled for July 28th!
Recycling is so much fun! Now that Spring cleaning is being tackled, you may notice items lying around not being used. Rather than throw it away, ask yourself if this is something that could enhance your child's school? Some of these items could be:
  • Seeds
  • Used Halloween or dress up costumes (non violent)
  • Gently used children's books
  • Toilet or paper towel cardboard tubes
  • Egg cartons
  • Empty cereal and boxes (to be used for dramatic play kitchens & art projects)
  • Paper
  • Ribbon
  • Yarn
  • empty Yogurt containers
  • clean Mason jars
  • Buttons (age 3 +)
  • Plastic bottle caps for counting, sensory and art projects (age 3 +)
If you have questions on what you can or can not donate, please see your school's Director.

Here's a fun craft to use up those toilet rolls and create works of art:
