Keep Our Earth Sparkling

 

blank white paper

pen

blue & green washable tempera paint

glitter

 

Create the earth “template” by turning a bowl upside down and tracing a circle on the paper. Write “Keep Our Earth Sparkling” on the page. Paint the sea blue (if you want to emphasize skill building, encourage them to stay inside the earth’s circle). Paint the earth green. While still wet, sprinkle with a little glitter. Let dry. Use this project to educate your kids about why we want to keep our earth sparkling and the benefits or recycling. Point out the kinds of things we can and cannot (not yet anyway) recycle. And maybe even let them walk a few items to the recycle bin!
