South Dublin pupils invited to reinvent festive decorations
A council competition is encouraging primary school children to transform household waste into imaginative Christmas creations. Entries close at 5pm on 4 December, giving classrooms an opportunity to explore reuse and sustainability.
South Dublin County Council is inviting primary school pupils to turn household cast-offs into imaginative Christmas decorations as its recycled decoration competition returns.
Egg boxes, old CDs, yoghurt tubs and cereal boxes could all find a new purpose, while lollipop sticks, broken toys and old socks offer more creative possibilities. The competition encourages students to learn about sustainability and reducing waste while making something festive.
All primary schools in the council area can enter by completing an application form. The deadline is 5pm on Friday, 4 December 2026.
