Project description:

This project adds sensory bins and hands-on activities to the Children's Discovery Fair at Picnic Day. In doing so, waste generation would largely be limited to the sensory activities (largely water, flour, etc.) rather than in the crafts that are produced. This project allows parents at the fair to learn about sustainable activities (such as sensory tables and recyclable crafts) that they can replicate at home rather than purchasing new materials for crafts and contributing to more waste generation.
