Earth Day Activities
Earth Day activities for kids help us celebrate Earth Day — a special observance on April 22 each year. It was created to inspire us to show our appreciation of the planet Earth and to fight against pollution.
Most people are reminded on Earth Day of the importance of being environmentally conscious — which means we should take care of our planet by not wasting its resources — as well as work for clean air, clean lakes and rivers, and live in harmony with the other animals with whom we share our space on this Earth.
In this article you’ll find different ways to celebrate Earth Day as you show your support for our planet. Check out the following pages to get started on these fun and Earth-friendly activities.
