Did you know that this month is plastic free July?In our class we have been looking at plastic in our
classroom and the plastic rubbish that we create. We´ve also been learning about how our plastic rubbish impact on our oceans and wildlife.
To help reduce the amount of single use plastic (like cling film)that we throw away,we had a go at
making some beeswax wraps.Beeswax wraps are good for our environment because they can be refused again and again.
How to make Beeswax Wraps
What you will need:
- 100% Cotton (fabric)
