What are some of your favorite Earth Day activities?
We have compiled some of the best ones to do with kids in honor of the holiday in which we seek to reduce human waste, end plastic pollution and clean up our land, sea and air. Here are six of the best ones:
- Trash Rainbows: One of the most original Earth Day activities comprises of making trash rainbows by gluing together pieces of trash of different colors.
- Sidewalk Paint: With the right tools, you can make eco-friendly sidewalk paint for kids looking to do something fun without hurting the environment. You’ll need corn starch, cold water and food coloring.
- Butterfly Garden: In order to help insects such as butterflies have a comfortable environment, you can make a butterfly garden using recycled materials along with seeds, mud and tools to make it happen.
- Bottle Compost: You can use a soda bottle with items such as wood shavings, wood chips, newspaper strips, lettuce scraps, apple cores, bread crusts, banana peels and more to create a compost that shows kids how the decomposition process happens.
- Scavenger Hunt: Create an Earth Day-themed scavenger hunt where you and your kids search for a number of items that are recyclable or biodegradable.
- Make Paper: You can also make paper with kids with a window screen, plastic wash tubs, a washcloth, water, torn paper and a blender. It’s a fun experience that kids will love.
