Earth Day for kids can be a pretty hard holiday to understand. We can’t expect our kids to understand the importance of Earth Day unless we teach them about it. That can be done through reading books, volunteering, or even just simple discussion and explaining.
Earth Day is a very special time to teach your kids about the importance of reducing waste, reusing materials, and recycling. But, most of all, it’s important to teach our children how they can become an active part in taking good care of our Mother Earth.
After all, our kids are the future and we can help them leave less of a carbon footprint and more of an impact in helping keep Earth clean!
Here are some Earth Day activities, books, printables, sensory play fun, nature crafts, and more that you can use to help your children understand Earth Day a little bit more!
