Earth Day Activities

  • Clean up a Park or Nature Trail. Take a walk with a plastic bag and help clean up you local areas. This is a great teaching for a younger crowd. Take along some hand sanitizer.
  • Paint Pine Cones. You can paint them all the same color and hand them with fishing wire or necklace string to create a mobile or you can turn the pine cone into an animal. Add arms and legs from pipe cleaners or construction paper. Once you add google eyes the animal will all come together.
  • Rock Paper Weighs. Find some unique shaped rocks with a flat bottom to become a perfect paper weight. You can choose to leave your rock natural or you could paint a picture or design on your rock.
  • Recycle Art. Have a box filled with ‘recyclable’ materials. Have construction paper and glue to help create the piece of art.
  • Plant a Tree or Vegetable Garden. Both of these will give back if we are responsible with watering. The tree will give us clean oxygen and the garden will give us organic vegetables.
  • Earth Day T-Shirts. Tie-dye some shirts with tea bags and colorful foods (or material dye).
  • Earth Piñata. Make at home and fill with little wild flower seeds. Hang outside from a big old tree.
  • Make home made paper!
