More than 30 fun Earth day crafts and activities for kids

With all of the excitement around Easter-themed crafting, poor old Earth Day often gets forgotten. That’s such a shame because taking care of our planet has never been more important. 

I’m embarrassed to say that in the past I’ve been guilty of flooding my own blog with pastel bunny, chick and egg crafts and until this year had zero Earth Day ideas at all!

To make up for it, this year I decided to focus on Earth Day in earlier in the year instead of in April (when we’re bound to get side tracked yet again). I’ve collected all of our ideas into one blog post along with lots of creative inspiration from the wider kid blogging community. You’re sure to find something for all ages and abilities here.
