Have you ever wondered what happens to tires once they have reached the end of their life? Well, 25% end up in a land-fill site. Participants learned ways to lessen the environmental impact of used tires and practical, hands-on activities with the ECCDC’s Early Learning and Child Care Program Consultant Ginette Wilson. This session took place outdoors and educators discovered the many uses for used tires within early learning and child care settings. Educators gained a range of strategies to utilize tires in their outdoor environments that will support children’s discoveries. Participants had opportunities to Mess About with used tires and took them home at the end of the session for their own outdoor early learning environments.
