Play School (1966)

What is it Now?

TV-G
This series is all about exploring and changing things. We explore ways in which the household recycling can be transformed and combined to create new and inventive toys and activities. With imagination and simple engineering, materials that were seen as waste are given new life and purpose. At the same time, children are encouraged to think about where these materials come from, and what happens to them once their initial use is done.
