Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22. This is a great time to help children think about the planet and how they can help the Earth. Children of all ages can celebrate Earth Day! Whether they read about Earth Day with a family member, pick up garbage, recycle, or make Earth Day crafts, Earth Day is all about loving our planet. I have created a list of some fun Earth Day activities for you to do with your preschooler!
