Speaker 1: Mees, Why aren't we at the recycling center.
Speaker 2: Aren't we going to.
Speaker 3: The garden shop to buy some pots and decorations for
Speaker 3: our garden.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, we can still go to the garden shop.
Speaker 4: I'm just dropping some things off at the recycling center.
Speaker 4: You can wait in the car. I'll be very quick.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: Welcome to Storytime by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating
Speaker 4: facts about the world around us and the fun of
Speaker 4: play learning. You might have heard about recycling, but have
Speaker 4: you heard about upcycling.
Speaker 5: Upcycling is when you give something old a new use
Speaker 5: or purpose. Maybe we'll learn about it while we're here.
Speaker 2: I am bored me too.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, look do you see that big bag over there?
Speaker 5: Whoa, it's huge.
Speaker 3: Do you think someone forgot it maybe or maybe left
Speaker 3: it there on purpose?
Speaker 2: I wonder what's inside?
Speaker 1: We shouldn't really touch.
Speaker 3: It, Yes, but what if there is a treasure inside?
Speaker 1: Then it is someone else's treasure?
Speaker 2: But what if it's not.
Speaker 3: It's just a tiny peak wouldn't hurt No, Lisa, we
Speaker 3: were told to wait in the car.
Speaker 2: Hmmm, Lisa, you shouldn't come on. Helliet know that quick peek?
Speaker 1: Can't we need to stay in the car.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm back. What's going on?
Speaker 3: There is a huge bag over there, and maybe it
Speaker 3: has a treasure inside or trash?
Speaker 4: Sure can be either or trash sometimes can be recycled
Speaker 4: and treasure, I guess.
Speaker 5: Returned to their owner. But who is the owner?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: Maybe that's him over there. Here's our chance to find out.
Speaker 2: Excuse me? Is it your bead?
Speaker 6: Yes? Why do you ask?
Speaker 2: Nothing important?
Speaker 3: I just wanted to know if it has treasure treasure inside?
Speaker 6: Well, why don't you have a look yourself and tell
Speaker 6: me whether you think it's trash or treasure?
Speaker 2: Huh No, not this one.
Speaker 3: Some more t shirt show, tea pots and two car tires.
Speaker 2: It's definitely jump yes to the bend. I told you, Lisa.
Speaker 6: You're right. It is a bunch of old stuff. But
Speaker 6: that doesn't mean it isn't treasure.
Speaker 2: Um what do you mean?
Speaker 6: Every once in a while I come treasure hunting here,
Speaker 6: looking for things that I can reuse.
Speaker 2: I know, like recycling.
Speaker 6: Actually, many of these things cannot be recycled. You can't
Speaker 6: melt them easily into something else. For example, these old
Speaker 6: teapots or even the broken doorknobs. But I can give
Speaker 6: them a new purpose and use them for something else.
Speaker 6: That's what you call upcycling.
Speaker 2: Upcycling.
Speaker 5: How does that work?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 6: Tell me is there anything you need at the moment,
Speaker 6: something for your house or maybe your room.
Speaker 3: Well, we were just about to go to the garden
Speaker 3: store and buy some new pots for our plants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and some other decorations for our garden.
Speaker 6: That sounds like fun. Well, there are plenty of things
Speaker 6: here that you could use for your garden.
Speaker 5: Really, Key's right. Just use your creativity and imagination.
Speaker 4: Think for a moment. What are some things from the
Speaker 4: bag that you could use as a pot for a plant? Lingo, kids, listeners,
Speaker 4: can you think of anything?
Speaker 1: Hmm?
Speaker 6: The tea pots, Yes, that's a great idea there.
Speaker 1: Pots, after all, but those are the tea.
Speaker 6: Usually Yes, but these ones have a few holes at
Speaker 6: the bottom. They may not be good for it sea anymore,
Speaker 6: but they can definitely hold some dirt for a plant,
Speaker 6: and they will look very nice in a garden.
Speaker 2: That's true. You're right.
Speaker 6: See, all you have to do is think outside the box.
Speaker 3: Let's think of some more things. What about these big tires.
Speaker 3: What if we put dirt.
Speaker 2: In them and hang them? Can we plant flowers in them.
Speaker 4: Oh, you mean like hanging planters. That's a great idea, Cowie,
Speaker 4: I think that can work.
Speaker 2: Yay, But don't they know well, I love to paint.
Speaker 2: Can we paint them?
Speaker 4: I don't see why not? With some colorful paints. I'm
Speaker 4: sure they'll look wonderful.
Speaker 1: I have another idea. Can we use the doorknobs to
Speaker 1: pretend like we're opening a visible door?
Speaker 5: That's very imaginative, elliot.
Speaker 4: We could also attach them to the fence and use
Speaker 4: them to hang our tire planters.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea too. What about these old shirts?
Speaker 3: Huh, well, we could use them to clean our hands
Speaker 3: when we're working with the Soyo.
Speaker 6: Great idea. That's a great way to reuse old t shirts.
Speaker 1: Hmm.
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what if you want, I'll go ahead
Speaker 6: and give you my bag of treasure since you plan
Speaker 6: on reusing these things?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 5: Wow? Are you sure?
Speaker 6: Of course? Don't worry. There's always more treasure to find here.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: That's very kind, Thank you very much. Okay, are we
Speaker 4: ready to go to the garden store?
Speaker 3: Well, we don't really need to now we can up cycle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's more fun too.
Speaker 5: I guess that's true.
Speaker 2: Let's go home and work on our garning. Yeah, now
Speaker 2: we know how to upcycle.
Speaker 4: Lingo Kids listeners, We've had a great time at the
Speaker 4: recycling center learning about upcycling and how we can give
Speaker 4: old things new uses. Look around, can you find things
Speaker 4: to repurpose using your creativity? Let us know what you
Speaker 4: came up with. Just make sure to ask a grown
Speaker 4: up for permission and always ask for help when using
Speaker 4: tools to make something new. If you are ready for

Speaker 4: offers fun and educational songs and games to help kids
Speaker 4: ages two and older learn and develop important skills such
