Looking for some Ideas for Earth Day?

What is Earth Day?

 

 

Earth Day is a special day that celebrates the Earth, just as we celebrate our birthdays every year.  On April 22nd, America and over 100 different countries join together in the celebration of Earth Day.

 

Earth Day is the largest, most celebrated environmental event worldwide.  It is a day where we remember to appreciate nature and learn ways to protect our environment.

 

Let's teach our children to show some pride by cleaning up their environment.

Let's teach them to love their planet by recycling and reusing what they can

and respecting where they live.

 

Here are some great books to teach children about Earth Day and what they can do to help.
