Directions

Start by downloading the earth template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this earth craft to life!

First, let’s grab our left land mass piece. We’re going to line it up with the left side of our Earth template. Once it’s aligned, help your kids spread some glue on the back of the land mass and press it down onto the Earth.

Next up, we have the right land mass. Similar to the first step, line it up with the right side of the Earth. With a dab of glue, secure it in place.

Now, let’s take the smallest land mass. This little piece is going to find its home on the right side of the Earth, just slightly below the last land mass we attached. A small amount of glue will do the trick to glue it to the water.

With our Earth looking vibrant and full of life. Choose a piece of colored paper that makes our Earth pop! Glue the completed Earth onto this paper.

Finally, the most special step of all – spelling out your child’s name along the bottom of the Earth using heart letters. This is where your kids can practice spelling their names.

That’s it! If your kids enjoy making this cute Earth Day craft. Be sure to check out our Name Crafts for Kids. We’re sure they will love creating more!
