Celebrating & taking care of our Earth-

1. Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year.

This site had some lovely ideas for encouraging exploring our earth and all mother nature shares with us. When the weather clears up, there are some great ideas here, that you can do all Spring. Just look through the list, and download what may be of interest to you, and your explorer!

Earth Day is our annual reminder to slow down and appreciate the bounty of the earth. The following 50 Earth Day Activities for kids will encourage children to create objects from natural and recycled materials and spend more time outdoors.
