I have talked about the fabulous Reverse Art Truck before on the blog (here and here). I love the idea of the kids using their imagination to make creations out of recycled materials.
If you live in Melbourne it is worth the trip to visit Reverse Art Truck in Ringwood. Last time we went, it was on request of the preschooler. He is at that stage where he loves to build, create and tinker. I have found by providing him with a wide range of recycled materials, he comes up with amazing creations.

Using Our Imagination To Create
When we have a big box of recycled materials like this, we tend to have long sessions where the kids will explore, imagine and create. The house becomes a bit like a modern art gallery with all sorts of constructions about the place, but it is wonderful to see them become inspired from what they have.
