Our kids don’t need to be told that planet Earth is pretty amazing. They are constantly exploring, discovering, and playing in the world around them. But you can never start too young to teach and encourage them to take care of the earth.
By celebrating Earth Day with them, we can teach our children to be good stewards through learning and fun and they will grow up with a deeper appreciation for nature and the world around them.
The festivities don’t have to be elaborate and you may even already be taking part in the activities you and your family enjoy. Here are some ideas for how you can celebrate Earth Day with your kids!
Go for a hike or nature walk. Find a nearby trail and get outdoors! Try apps like GowheeApp and others to find local trails in your area. To make the experience a little sweeter we recommend to use tools like Inaturalist.org to learn about the flora and fauna with your kids.
Create beauty and fresh air at the same time! Gardens come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and containers. Start small with a planter pot, then move up to a raised bed garden or a garden plot. If you have no outdoor space Mini terrarium are a great ways to accommodate small spaces and create some beautiful touches of green around the house.

It is well known, children learn best through play. Let the kids decorate bins for garbage and recycling that can be used in the house before taking materials out to the dumpster. Make it easy to identify what is recycled and what is trash.Â
Use leaves, pine cones, grass, twigs, or dead flowers to create a beautiful work of art. You can even pick up a bunch of rocks and let the kids paint them with non toxic paint!
Attach a barrel at the bottom of your gutters (you can even let the kids decorate it!) to catch rainwater for you to use to water your outdoor plants and grass.
