Educational EcoHome for kids launches on the South Coast – and you could win big by buying one
Each pack includes a house, assembly card, sixteen collectable items and seventeen information cards.
EcoHome, a South African made educational activity for children that teaches the importance of sustainable living, recently launched in Harbour View and Hibberdene SuperSpars. Each EcoHome flat pack kit retails for R129.95 and includes a house, assembly card, sixteen collectable items and seventeen information cards.
“With most schools bringing sustainability into the curriculum, help your children learn how to take care of our planet and the importance of recycling, permaculture, healthy living and conservation of resources. Building their own eco-home using earth-saving materials will teach them the principles of sustainable living in a tangible, educational and fun way,” explains Jacqueline McCarroll – EcoHome Director.
EcoHome items in each pack include: recycling bins, solar panels, water tank, acacia tree, thermal insulation, beehive, toilet, shower, gas stove, LED light stand, lounge suite, fridge, and bed and frog. Each of the EcoHome items comes with a corresponding information card with assembly steps and educational facts explaining why the item is of use to the home in terms of its eco-benefits.
Kerry Peyper, Deputy Principal of Port Shepstone Junior Primary, expressed her excitement about the EcoHome kit and echoed the importance of teaching children the importance of respecting the environment. “The EcoHome kit is informative, engaging and easy to understand. Above educating the children on sustainable practices, it promotes fine motor development by constructing the pieces and also encourages reading and discussion through the information cards.”
In celebration of the launch, EcoHome is running a fantastic competition. “Find a gold sun in your EcoHome pack and win one of the collectable items for your school – such as a water tank, recycle bins, LED bulbs, etc. Find a silver sun in your EcoHome pack and win R2500 towards your school fees,” concludes Jacqueline.
