Upcycle It | Recycle Reduce Reuse | Upcycling Songs for Preschoolers | Cheeky Monkey Club

Let's learn about upcycling and how we can reuse old things, by turning them into something different. Socks into dog toys Old Rugs into soft toys Paint Cans into drums Ripped Jeans into a stylish bag Boxes, bottles, jugs and the list goes on. This music video was filmed on Meanjin Country on location at Reverse Garbage in Queensland, Woolloongabba. Thank you to the team at Brisbane's Reverse Garbage for welcoming us and allowing us to help spread the excitement of upcycling to our young audience. Reverse Garbage Co-Op is Queensland's only eco arts and reuse centre specialising in the collection of clean industrial discards and other high quality materials. We hope this video will help educate children by highlighting how to upcycle common household items by using your imagination.
