Petit Collage: Rush to Recycle | Teach Kids About Recycling| Sort All The Recyclibles Before The Truck Comes | Made with Recycled Card and Vegetable Inks

Granddaughters, 7 years and 4 years along with their cousins (7 years and 4 years), started playing with this as soon as it was opened at a birthday party. They enjoyed it. Children are not too young to start thinking about saving the earth.

My 5 year old son enjoys this game, but he seems to grow tired of it quickly. It’s sort of basic, but I like the principles behind the game and it’s nice to play something other than candy land for a change.

I purchased this game for my PreK classroom and my students absolutely LOVED it. We had a lot of fun racing the recycling truck. It was easy to learn how to play and an enjoyable game. Highly recommend for other children who love playing games or for in the classroom when teaching about recyclables.

Generally this is a very good game for my 2 year old who is obsessed with recycling - however - the little recycle bins are made of thin cardboard and they bend and crack SO easily when you build them.When I realized this with the first bin I was so careful when building the other ones and the paper still split. One is completely unusable and the lids have fall off all the others. You also can't just build and then not mess with them again - you need to open them up to get the pieces out which destroys the paper further.We have a bunch of little plastic bins from another toy so have started to use those since the colors match. Wish the company would make the paper bins of better quality.

I got this for my preschoolers for Earth Day and everyone has liked it. It's a cute introduction to community helpers, living "green", and understanding what kind of things can be recycled. I like that it can be cooperative or competitive depending on how you play. The recycling bins for the game could easily be destroyed if a kiddo fell on them or something, but so far we've been careful enough with it. 3 Thumbs up from this batch of students!

I have one son who is very in to trash and garbage trucks, so this game was perfect for him! We have a lot of fun playing with the pieces and sorting in to the bins, and it's great for kids of any young age 5 or less. As some have mentioned, the bins themselves are very thin and not the best sturdiness so be careful of that.

My kiddo (4yo) loves this game! For us, the recycling truck hasn’t gotten to the end before we get all of our cards into the bins, but we have had someone win. We played with two players and three players. This game is interesting and very fun. The tactile process of putting the individual recycling into the bin is fun for my kiddo. There are a few downsides with the board game though.While folding the bins, the lids can bend easily. The recycling item cards are thick, but they are also easily bent and very hard to stack into a deck. The game can get a little tedious towards the end of the game. Once everyone is down to a few cards and don’t have one of each category, we had a lot of rounds of rolling the dice to something we didn’t have and then passing it to the next person, just for them to have the same experience. With these in mind, I would normally give 4 stars, but my kiddo just loves the game so much and I bet other kids would too.

My son (3) and I enjoyed this cute but educational game. It is easy to set up and my son grasped the concept quickly. The only problem is that I think it was too easy for him and kind of became a bit repetitive.It's a neat way to teach little ones about proper recycling, no doubt about that. I just thought that after 2 games it had pretty much met it's need. My son was no longer challenged and it became repetitive. He had learned all he needed to learn and understood the importance of recycling (also because we recycle and he helps out).I think this would be great in a classroom setting to teach kids in a fun way about recycling that maybe have not been in an environment that recycled.I just think matching card colors to the bins kind of takes away from looking at the picture, thinking about what it is made of, and then putting them in the correct method of disposal. The point is to teach children about what goes where, not color match the card and bin.The only other problem with that is that the illustrated pictures look alike (especially the bottles). I think the only way to avoid this (without the telltale colored cards) is by using real photos of recyclable materials so it is clearer what is glass or plastic. Then instead of writing 'glass', 'plastic' etc on the bins, younger kids can not read well after all, have a clear picture of the type of material.The game is a good idea and being someone who wholeheartedly believes in recycling, I do think this is great for kids to learn the importance of recycling correctly. Just without the simplicity of the card color matching the bin color. 3-5 year olds are smart after all and get bored easily if not challenged which ruins the purpose of this game.
