One of the pleasing things about the Caravan Club sites is their recycling facilities. They encourage members to recycle their waste by providing different dustbins and ‘igloos’  - giving people no excuses NOT to recycle.

Like most caravanners - I’d imagine - we have a box of rubbish for recycling in our awning that we sort and dispose of responsibly before we leave, giving us plenty of materials to cut, stick and colour.

Kerry and I started this challenge as the girls were playing with some friends they’d made at the Rosedale site. The idea was that we’d hand over to the girls after a few minutes.

However, we got a little too into this challenge and ended up engrossed in a bit of Blue Peter style model making. Perhaps we craved this sort of creative activity… maybe we just got lost in a child-like playful activity that it was.  

Anyway, whatever the reason was, it was great therapy - and it was sunny too Happy

So parents, grandparents… oh, and kids, make a model of YOUR caravan out of your recyclable rubbish. 

NB Remember to dispose of the model responsibly by using the site’s recycling facilities - unless you are going to take it home and put it on your mantlepiece :)
