Are you looking for Earth Day activities for the kids? I have a fun list of things to do for Earth Day!
Earth Day is every day around here, but the official day is April 22nd. But I did not grow up educated about how to keep a healthy, sustainable environment and environmental protection. Now, times have changed and it’s my responsibility to teach my boys about the environment.
Have a Beach Clean up for Earth Day
Recycling was not big in our house either, until I moved out on my own. When I started college, I learned about global warming, deforestation, and pollution. Today, I take my kids to “beach clean ups” and we recycle, especially reusing boxes and containers to store toys and nick knacks.
Plant a Tree on Earth Day
I recently visited Costa Rica and planted a tree! It felt so good to know that I was making a difference. Costa Rica knows how to take care of their country. They know how to teach their kids on how to be environmentally friendly. It’s so impressive!
