Recycled Earth - Fun Earth Day Craft
April 22nd is Earth Day and, if you need some fun craft ideas, here's a great one to start with! It's super simple, will provide your kiddos with some fabulous fine motor building, and offers a great introduction to recycling. [...We found this, along with lots of other great crafts, over at No Time For Flash Cards...]
Supplies You'll Need
- Recycled cereal or cracker boxes
- Green markers
- Blue construction paper
- Single paper punch
- White school glue
Not only will your kiddos have a blast completing the craft, the finished earth cutouts can be used for lots of fun things! String them on a ribbon to create an Earth Day garland, add upper and lower case letters to each cutout and invite students to find the matches, paste the cutouts to the floor and have your kiddos hop from 'earth' to 'earth' as you listen to Earth Day songs {perhaps playing a game similar to musical chairs} - the possibilities are endless!
