Papa says, “This yard is a MESS. The wind blew the rubbish in.”
Mama says, “Let’s go on a litter hunt. First look for tins.”
Papa says, “Wear these gloves.”
Sister says, “Yuck!”
We’re going on a tin hunt.
We look up high and down low.
We look under the bushes and against the fence.
We’ve found
red tins and green tins,
rusty tins and shiny tins,
clean tins and dirty tins.
“Yuck!”
What must we do with all these tins?
Find a bin and put them in!
Now look for plastic.
We’re going on a plastic hunt.
We look up high and down low.
We look behind the chicken coop and in front of the house.
We’ve found
milk bottles and bottle tops,
shopping bags and sucker sticks,
straws and broken buckets.
“Yuck!”
What must we do with all this plastic?
Find a bin and put it in!
Now look for paper.
We’re going on a paper hunt.
We look up high and down low.
We look near the water barrel and on top of the bench.
We’ve found wet paper and dry paper,
cardboard boxes and newspaper,
old paper plates and dirty tissues.
“Yuck!”
What must we do with all this paper?
Find a bin and put it in!
What else can you look for? Hmm…
There’s no more mess!
Wow! This place is so clean. Thanks, litter hunters.
You deserve a treat! And remember… What must you do with your litter?
Find a bin and put it in!
