The main goal of this research project was to analyze the attitudes and beliefs of a group of Teacher Education students on non-traditional materials as an educational tool. A second goal was to assess the effects of these resources on the students’ training as future teachers. In the subject “Motor Games for children 0-6 years old”, students were asked to construct and assess non-conventional equipment made out of recycled materials. At the end of the project, they were asked to complete a 40 items questionnaire. Pre-postest analysis revealed that these Teacher Education students valued positively the use of these non-traditional materials as a pedagogical tool, as an interdisciplinary strategy, to educate on values, and as an assessment tool. Students valued the experience as being very positive and they also highlighted several advantages.
