Earth Day Activity
Prepare an Earth Day activity using holiday craft ideas and teach your children about the earth, nature and recycling! Nature crafts, recyclable crafts, and paper crafts are always a lot of fun for everyone. Learn about the world and make some fun crafts for kids.
The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970. Citizens throughout the United States, young and old, made a pact to help the environment. Today, it has become a global event. An Earth Day activity takes place in almost every city and village around the world. It has become an international holiday.
Start crafting today. All of the projects we have provided are easy crafts for kids that can be made all year long. We only have one planet and once a year is not enough to celebrate our earth.
Globe Crafts
What would an earth day activity be without a globe? Try one of these fun crafts for kids.
Hand Wreath
Teach your children that the world is in their hands.
Supplies:
- 1 Dimensional picture of globe
- 1 Heavy piece of cardboard (Cereal Box's should never go to waste, they are a great source and the perfect size!)
- Blue and green colored cardboard (We recycled old file folders)
- Pencil
- Glue
- Scissors
- Paint, markers or crayons
- Template of a child's hand
Directions:
- Find a picture of the globe in a magazine and cut out. If you can't find one, feel free to use the globe we found on the internet. Keep with the spirit of this holiday craft: print on the back side of a used piece of paper!
- Glue globe to cardboard and cut out.
- Trace child's hand and cut out approximately 16-20 hands (Depends on the size of your globe).
- Glue hands around the globe.
Discuss with your child ways that he or she can protect the earth and write these ideas on the hands.
For younger children, allow them to decorate as they please.
Don't forget to write the date on the craft and watch your child's hand grow from year to year.
Make a sun craft by following the same directions but use orange paper. You can always use poster paint to get the perfect color.
