Earth Day Projects For Kids

Monday April, 22nd is Earth Day! I wanted to share the Earth Day craft that Andrew and I made today, as well as a few other great ideas that I found on the web. I know that as a teacher, I was always searching at the last minute for an Earth Day activity to use with my class, so I hope these ideas help!

Andrew and I made this Earth Day craft by sponge painting a cardboard circle with blue paint. We then used green plasticine to make the continents and some red for a heart! It was a quick and easy activity, and he enjoyed playing with the clay!

Here are some other great Earth Day projects for all ages!

My favourite children's story to read on Earth Day has always been The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss. The message is so fitting, and the pictures are fabulous! Here is a great idea for making Seuss inspired garden out of recycled materials.
