Our Earth Day celebration started off with some fun activities involving paint! Of course, we had to make hand prints and incorporate the colors of our Earth! We had a blast painting each hand a different color and talking about what things we can do to keep our Earth clean and safe.
For this literacy project, we simply took a white paper plate, painted out handprints blue (for the water) and green (for the land). Then each child glued on a small poem that I printed out and wrote their names on the bottom with a pencil.
Our poem reads:
“Everyday is Earth Day,
If its cold or wet or hot,
Pitch in to save the planet
It’s the only one we’ve got!”
I also found this wonderful activity (from Kinder Craze) to do for an art activity that included a mosaic looking Earth, which I really loved. However, we adapted it a bit for our classroom. Instead of using water colors, we decided to use crayons since we didn’t have thick sturdy cardstock. The colors did not turn out as bright as the water colors but each child was able to personalize it with some of their favorite colors.
