Earth Day is around the corner of this month, and what could be a better time to celebrate the beauty of this planet than this day? And to make it even better, there are several fun activities for kids to show their love and care for Mother Earth. Read below this article to explore some of the best Earth Day activities for kids that are not only fun but also let them understand the importance of nature in their lives.

Explore Nature

Every kid loves adventure hunting. What if it’s a good nature exploration hunt? Well, you can encourage your kids to find out the listed items, such as flowers, rocks, and more, in nature. And if your kids love something more adventurous, you can even ask them to explore animal tracks.

Plant a tree

Planting a tree is another amazing way to celebrate Earth Day. Whether you have a small space in your backyard or a tiny windowsill to sow a little plant, it is one of the best ways to bring about a small yet positive impact on the environment while simultaneously cherishing memories with your little one for life.

DIY bird nest

You can encourage your kids to create a DIY bird nest using materials such as twigs, small branches, dry grass, feathers, and more that could easily be found at home. Once you’ve decided on a safe location, such as a tree or shrub, you can help place the nest away from harsh weather or predators. Not only will your kids enjoy watching the birds, but it will also turn out to be a contribution to creating a better environment.

Craft by Upcycling

Upcycling is a skill that can never be enough when it comes to creating beautiful DIY crafts. You can sit along with your kids to make some fun items, such as collages, sculptures, or handmade jewelry, using old magazines, cartons, or cardboard boxes. This will not only teach the kids about the importance of reusing materials but also develop creativity in them.

Nature Crafts

Creating art pieces from nature items is one of the most basic ways to let your little ones get creative with endless possibilities. Ask them to collect stones, leaves, and sticks from their own backyard or from the local park. Whether it’s leaf rubbings or rock painting, the ideas are countless to make this Earth’s Day full of fun.
