Earth Day is coming up, and we want to make sure our kids learn at a young age the importance of taking care of our planet.

Incorporate some more Earth Day activities for the kids to do to keep them interested in ways to help!

Earth Day Printable Activities

Now that they’re working on the activity pages and thinking of ways to conserve, they’re also working on some skills that are important for their development. These four pages introduce counting, graphing, matching, and problem-solving.

Kids will be able to work on basic math skills with the count and graph page, identifying patterns and similarities with the matching pages, and boosting cognitive skills with the maze.

These worksheets are a fun and educational way for kids to learn about the environment and improve essential skills at the same time. They’re a great resource to use either at home or in the classroom.

The following worksheets are included in this free printable set of Earth Day activity pages:

Count and Graph worksheet
Match the Object worksheet
Shadow Matching worksheet
Earth Day Maze worksheet

On the first page, kids will count how many times they find each image. They’ll then graph it by coloring in the correct amount of spaces above each picture. This is a great way to reinforce beginning math skills with your kids.

Up next on the match the object page, kids will compare the pictures and draw a line to the matching image on the other side of the page.

Matching objects helps kids to look for patterns, similarities and differences, and improve concentration and memory.

The next worksheet is the shadow matching page where kids will match the colored, detailed image with the correct shadow by comparing the shapes and outlines.

This activity develops visual discrimination skills which help kids spot differences in shapes and objects that are similar.

The final sheet is the Earth Day maze where kids will guide the girl picking up litter to make her way to the bag filled with recyclable items.

Mazes help kids develop spatial visualization while also working on problem-solving, fine motor skills, and focus.

Talk with your kids about what is happening in the pictures on each of the worksheets and how that can help the Earth when they do it, too.
