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.

    Love these earth day crafts! We’ll be making some blue & green slime for earth day too! We just did DIY terrarium necklaces to learn about the water cycle and have a fun spring craft that I think would be fun for Earth Day too!

    I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
