Earth Day Activities for Kids
Even though we try hard each and every day to help our Earth by recycling, conserving water, and protecting our environment, it’s great to be reminded how important it is to teach our children how to take care of the Earth. These Earth Day Activities for Kids are a perfect way to create memories and teach our children at the same time.
Maybe you are looking to start a garden with the kids, or plant a tree. Whip up a batch of Homemade Suet for the Birds, dig in the dirt and make a Mud Monster or do a craft with recycled magazines. Celebrate Earth Day with one (or more) of these fun activities! Celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd!

Fun ideas for Earth Day! I remember making the rolled paper beads with my grandma, who lived through the Great Depression. There was a lot of wisdom in that generation’s “make do” attitude! Thank you for including the Mud Monster from CraftsnCoffee.com, too.
These are great ideas, especially the bird feed ornament! Engaging kids in activities that involve reuse items is a perfect opportunity to teach the important of caring for planet Earth. Great post!
