Abstract

This article presents experiences of the project “Environmental Education and Childhood: reflections and actions based on games and toys made with recyclable material” developed by the Psychology and Education departments of UEL Londrina and the University without Borders Program (USF). It aims at reflecting on the process of making games and toys produced with recyclable materials and using them with children from a Child Education Center, providing opportunities for training, playful and interactive situations with students from the Psychology and Education undergraduate courses. The methodology consisted of a bibliographic study and reports of experiences based on the following steps: 1) Organization; 2) Preparation; 3) Elaboration and manufacture of recyclable games and toys; and 4) Use with children aged 4 and 5 years. The results showed the scarcity of scientific publications on the subject as well as the potential and effectiveness of using games made with recyclable materials, in promoting environmental education with preschool children.
