What is Earth Day?
Earth day is an international event that celebrates Earth by focusing on environmentally friendly activities, e.g. picking up trash. Earth day began several decades ago in the United Sates on April 22, 1970. Since its inception, it has grown significantly; over 1 billion people will celebrate earth day around the world. I like to think of earth day as earth’s birthday.
Earth Day Activities
We offer free coloring pages to help you celebrate Earth Day. We also recommend playing Jack Johnson’s song, The 3R’s. If you like games, consider playing musical chairs using this song. It is the perfect complement to any earth day activity. It has a great beat and contains the perfect lyrics – reduce, reuse and recycle and it even provide examples on how children and parents can implement the 3 Rs.

Earth Day Book
This is a great book that is ideal for children in grades kindergarten through 1st grade. It provides ideas that every child can do that will make a BIG difference, e.g., using both sides of a piece of paper or bringing reusable bags to the store.
Another great book that is ideal for younger children. Reading about earth day helps educate our children about what they can do to keep our earth healthy and clean.
