When is Earth Day? It is April 22nd. This Earth day, embrace these Earth Day Crafts Ideas for Kids to raise awareness and support for protecting our environment with your children.

Every year, we celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd to raise awareness and support for protecting our environment. It’s important to start talking to your kids from an early age about ways we can do our part to lessen our impact on the planet. These Earth Day Crafts are a great catalyst for those discussions.

As you craft with your kids, making models and depictions of Earth, talk about ways to save water and reduce pollution. Talk about the importance of recycling, and if you don’t have one in your home, set up a can just for recycling. Discuss ways to keep the earth “healthy” and talk about activities that may make the planet “sick.” You get the idea.

But most of all, have fun making these Earth Day crafts with the kids. Proudly display the crafts in your home (or in your classroom) as a reminder all month long that we are connected with the Earth, and it is our responsibility to take care of her.

Don’t forget our Easy Earth Day Projects and Activities for Kids. Also enjoy our Earth Day printables including this Earth Day Activities PDF and Earth Day Scavenger Hunt!

Earth Day Crafts

Make a paper Earth Day garland to string up in the playroom or classroom for Earth Day. This craft is a great visual to teach kids about how we are all interconnected and all responsible for taking care of the Earth. | Hello, Wonderful

You only need a styrofoam ball, tissue paper, and lots of glue to make this pretty globe! Not only is it fantastic for Earth Day, but you could use this technique to make planets to build a solar system. | Gluesticks

Your kid will want to wear these Earth Day salt dough necklaces often as a reminder to take care of the Earth. The one with the heart will be particularly easy to do with young children—they can even make the heart shape with their fingerprints! | Natural Beach Living

Older kids who still enjoy crafting things may like paper quilling. It’s a technique that involves curling paper into different shapes like circles, loose coils, teardrops, and more. You can create some really beautiful pieces, like this lovely quilled paper earth craft. | Projects with Kids

Coffee drinkers—save those k-cups! They’re perfect for crafting. This k-cup Earth Day craft is really cute. | Artsy Momma

Black glue can help you create stunning art! Outlining the continents and then using watercolors to paint the Earth creates gorgeous contrast in this fun Earth Day black glue craft. | Messy Little Monster

Kids who can paint the shape of the continents will enjoy making these earth magnets made out of upcycled jar lids. They can even add them to their lockers at school as a reminder to take care of the planet. | Moms and Crafters

Learn about the layers of the Earth for Earth Day! You can use this craft as an opportunity to simply teach kids a little more about the Earth and its various layers. We only see the top layer, the crust, but there’s so much that goes on beneath Earth’s surface! Small children will need to have an adult do the spray painting. | Surviving a Teacher’s Salary

Earth Day Crafts for Preschoolers

Talk to your kids about what makes the Earth happy and healthy and what makes the Earth sad and unhealthy. This craft offers a great visual representation through interchangeable elements as you go through the list of suggestions. Preschoolers will have so much fun coloring the Earth and then changing out the eyes, mouth, and the heart/bandage elements. | The Inspiration Edit

This cupcake liner earth craft is stunning! It’s so fun for little ones because they can learn to paint using different materials. For this project, they’ll be painting with a toothbrush and a pom-pom. How cool is that? | I Heart Crafty Things

Handprint crafts are fun for preschoolers, and this hand print earth craft is just adorable. The printable template makes it easy to guide little ones through this craft. And look! The Earth is wearing a party hat in celebration of Earth Day! | Simple Everyday Mom

Any kid who enjoys playing in the dirt will love making this Earth Day craft. Simply cut out the earth shape, color or paint in the water, and cover the land portions with glue and dirt. It’s a great excuse to get messy. | Kids Activities Blog

Get ready for some sticky, slimy fun! This Earth Day Baking Soda Slime is Borax-free and totally kid-safe. Make sure your kiddo doesn’t have sensitivities to baking soda before proceeding with this project. Keep in mind that it’s a little stickier than regular slime, but the mess is part of the fun. | Steamsational

Speaking off messy crafts, shaving cream painting is another one that’s popular with kids. The marbled effect you get from shaving cream art is so pretty, and the blue/green combination is perfect for Earth Day. | The Simple Parent

Start a new springtime tradition by making seed bombs with the kids to celebrate the Earth! Use blue, green, and white paper to give the seed bombs an earth-like appearance, or just use whatever paper scraps you have on hand. Adults will need to run the food processor, but cutting the paper scraps and shaping the balls gives kids lots of fine motor practice. Seed bombs would make nice neighbor gifts, along with a hand-painted pot or recycled container. | Little Bins for Little Hands

Moms, if you have any CDs leftover from yesteryear, you can use them to make one of these cute CD ornament Earth Day crafts with the kids. Turning old things you don’t use into art is a great way to encourage kids to recycle and upcycle. The ornament would look really pretty spinning around on your porch or breezeway. | Our Kid Things

Children need to be taught to love our planet from a young age. The hands holding the world project is a great way to do that. Use the conversation starters to talk about how we can love the Earth. Isn’t it cute that the hearts are made out of thumbprints? Younger children may need help with tracing and cutting their handprints. | Fun Handprint Art

Use reusable shopping and produce bags
Shop your local farmers market, bring a reusable bag
Plan meals to avoid food waste
Collect and re-purpose rain or grey water
Have your shoes and clothes repaired instead of buying new
Run full loads in the dish washer and laundry
Focus on experiences instead of things
Change all your bills to paperless (electronic)
Join carpools or use public transport
Plant a garden (even if it is small)
Carry your own reusable straw
Reduce the amount of consumption of toothpaste, shampoo, etc
Don’t impulse shop – stop, think method
Avoid palm oil (responsible for much of the world’s deforestation)
Upcycle and re-purpose as much as you can
Pack your own lunch in a reusable container

The steps will turn you into an environmentally conscious earth member (wink) and get you family closer to a zero waste home!

Homemade Kids Bath Bombs – You Choose the Scent!

An Easy Homemade Bath Bomb Recipe for kids with a surprise inside. This DIY bath bomb for kids is such a unique idea for the bath and leaves your children smelling great!

Homemade Bath Bombs for the Kids

Nowadays bath bombs are all the rage at beauty product stores like Macy’s, Bath & Body Works, and Sephora but unfortunately they cost an arm and a leg. The going rate is about $9/bath bomb. WHAT? That’s crazy considering you can make 4 to 6 of these at home in 5 minutes for 1/2 the price! You won’t believe how easy these are to make! Get the kids involved in the process. Make it a mini science lesson to show what you can create by mixing certain liquids and solids. What an awesome evening activity too, add a little Peace & Calming Essential Oil to help support bedtime wind-down. Then, they can use the bombs the next night before bed. They’ll love it!

For some people creating a large bath bomb, similar to the ones you see in the stores, is their plan! For that you will need to get on Amazon or head to Michael’s and pick up some clear circle molds. For the sake of my time and money I simply used cupcake molds I had in my pantry.

You can do so much with this recipe the possibilities are endless! Add a layer of fun – In the middle add a little magic grow animal pill and when the bath bomb dissolves it expands into a dolphin for the kids to enjoy! Super fun! These are great for adults too. Add chemical free food coloring if you are making these special for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or Teacher Appreciation Gifts! Hosting a birthday party anytime soon? These would make wonderful party favors!

TIP: Have all your ingredients set out ahead of time and read through these directions first so you have an idea of how to do this accurately. This recipe is quick and super affordable. It will produce 4-6 small bath bombs in a cupcake mold or 2-3 large bath bombs in the circle form.

Bath Bombs Recipe for Kids

For this surprise bath bombs recipe for kids, you will need to following ingredients.

a Bath Bomb Mold (you can also use a cupcake tray or we love these heart and flower shapes!)
1 cup of baking soda
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 cup Epsom Salt
3 teaspoons of water
2 teaspoons of your favorite essential oil (I like to do relaxing oils so I use lavender, roman chamomile, or ylang ylang)
Optional: a couple drops of food coloring
Optional: magic grow animal pills

How to Make Bath Bombs for Kids

Just a few simple steps on how to make bath bombs for kids.

Simply combined all of your dry ingredients, and whisk.
In a separate bowl, combined all of your wet ingredients, and whisk.
Very quickly mix the dry & wet ingredients together and whisk as fast as you can to avoid a reaction.
Once you are done whisking all the ingredients together it will feel similar to damp sand.
Place the mixture into your mold and pack it very full. If you are using a secret magic grow animal pill, place it in the middle of the mold as you pack!
If they are in a flat mold (not ball) level off.
Allow these to sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!

National Volunteer Week falls in April. Enjoy these parent Volunteer Gifts Ideas with printable gift tags to show how you appreciate your volunteers. Say thank you with these random acts of kindness and parent gift ideas.

Volunteer Gifts Ideas

When I was a teacher, boy did I appreciate my classroom volunteers. Parents were amazing from coming in weekly to work with a student, to cutting up classroom supplies, to creating bulletin boards. When my girls began school, I was in the classroom weekly returning the favor. Both when I taught and when I volunteered was before Pinterest, so I had to get really creative with my Volunteer Appreciation Gifts.

Thank God for the evolution of Pinterest!

How do you appreciate your volunteers?

The point of National Volunteer week is to show a random act of kindness to your classroom helpers. Say thank you with these parent gift ideas. Purchase a plant, cake, candy bar, gift card and attach a printable thank you gift tag.

When is National Volunteer Week?

The exact dates of National Volunteer Appreciation Week vary based on the year. If looking in advance, it is typically the third week of April. For 2021, National Volunteer Week will fall between April 18 – 24th. It typically comes two weeks before Teacher Appreciation Week.

What do you do for volunteer appreciation?

You might ask yourself, what is a good gift to show appreciation? Recognizing the impact of a volunteer doesn’t have to be a grandiose event. Often small gifts of thanks show the most appreciation.

We put together a list of creative parent volunteer gifts. All offer inspiration and all a bonus, all offer printable Gift Tags for Parent Volunteers. I personally love when I can pick up a small thoughtful gift at the grocery store and attach a thank you gift tag. Easy-peasy.
