These three pages feature illustrations of recycling, reusing items, and the planet we call home. As they work on the pages, get your kids talking about ways we can help the planet and protect it for future generations. 

This dot to dot activity is a good way for kids to improve several skills. Kids hone their fine motor skills as they grip the pencil and carefully draw to complete the picture.

They’ll practice counting as they go from 1 to 24 connecting the dots and developing spatial awareness as they see the picture as a whole.

Once the kids have completed the different pictures, they’ll have a blast coloring them in. Just download, print, and grab the crayons for a fun, no-prep activity.

Earth Day Ideas For Kids

With Earth Day coming up, you may be on the hunt for some ways to celebrate with the kids. We have some fun and creative Earth Day craft and activity ideas for you to check out.

Keep reading below for some that are on our list to do.

Earth Day Books For Kids

Reading books to your children from an early age is one of the most impactful activities for their development and growth this Earth Day and every day. Curling up with a good book sparks the imagination, expands vocabulary, and fosters bonding between parent and child.

As kids listen to stories, they learn to associate reading with positive experiences and quality time with loved ones. They begin to grasp language and communication skills that will prepare them for learning how to read on their own.

I Am Earth is a great book to introduce children to the planet. It has simple and easy-to-understand text and fun illustrations that will keep kids engaged!

Heal The Earth takes kids on a magical journey around the world to help solve the problems we’re facing on this planet. The message of love and compassion is great for every child.

My Friend Earth is a favorite of parents and children alike! It has an environmentally conscious message and amazing die-cut pages kids can’t get enough of.
