When Is Earth Day?

Until recently we didn’t realize Earth Day falls on the same day, April 22, each year. It first began on April 22, 1970 so this year will make it the 49th annual Earth Day!

Teaching our children about the environment and keeping our world healthy is a simple but powerful way we can help the Earth maintain its beauty and resources.

One way we can do this is by sharing simple Earth Day facts with them like:

• The 1st Earth Day occurred in 1970
• Earth Day originally began in the United States but is now observed worldwide
• It only takes 6 weeks for an aluminum can to be produced, recycled, and remanufactured (source)
• Senator Gaylord Nelson was the founder of the first Earth Day (source)

Earth Day Activity For Kids

One of the easiest ways to get kids excited about learning is through hands-on activities.

This free printable Earth Day headband is a simple art activity they can do after learning all about Earth Day and the things they can do to help protect the planet.

Supplies

• Crayons or markers
• White card stock
• Tape or stapler
• Scissors

Directions

Download the Earth Day headband template and print it out onto white card stock.

Let your child or students color the first page that has the happy Earth face on it.

Cut out the headband along the outer black lines.

Cut out the extra bands on the second page and measure around your child’s head to see how many bands are needed to make the headband fit their head.

Use tape or a stapler to attach the bands to the main headband.
