Earth Day Crafts

Earth Day will be here on April 22nd this year and we have a few craft ideas for you to try out with your little ones to celebrate the day! We are starting off our Earth Day Craft series with this colorful craft made from items found right outside!



Have students go out and collect a couple of 5 different items. This could be grass, flowers, leaves, sticks or whatever else they might find. You may want to pass out a few ziploc bags or brown lunch bags for them to carry their items in.

Next, each student should pick out their favorite color construction paper. With the five items that they chose, they can prepare their area to start their craft. They will also need glue.

Start by taking the glue and making the E. You will want this to be a decent amount of glue so that the items stick. With the item of your choice cover the glue E. Repeat this process with your other 4 items until the word EARTH is spelt out on the page.

You will want to give this craft some time to dry before sending them home with your students. We suggest keeping them overnight to ensure all glue has dried.
