When it comes to learning, little ones have a different approach. Kids are inquisitive, creative, and hands on when it comes to taking in new information. When you want to teach young people about something that is important, find a way to make the information extra exciting and memorable by teaching it through an activity, or a game.
This week, we are bringing you three Earth Day activities that you can easily play with your kids to celebrate Earth Day. Remember, you don’t have to be a certified teacher in order to make a positive impact on what your kiddos are learning at home. Roll up your sleeves, and get ready to have an Earth Day celebration that the whole family will remember.
Instilling strong values at a young age is so important when it comes to developing humans. When you take the time and care to teach your kids about something in a meaningful way, the information will stay with them. Showing an investment in what your children are learning is also a wonderful way to start an intimate sense of bonding.
Celebrating Earth Day with your little ones is how we keep the conversation going in a sustainable and long lasting way. When a kid grows up thinking about environmental solutions, and being aware of how to help our Earth, these values will gain more traction as the child continues to grow up, and adopt their own opinions of the world. Starting the conversation with your kids while they’re young is one of the best ways to contribute to a greener lifestyle in the long run.
Everybody learns differently, and children are a prime example of this fact. Whether it involves watching a fun video, getting your hands dirty in the garden, or coloring a picture about the Earth, these activities have a little something for everyone – even the adults of the house! Take a look.
Despite Earth Day only being one day a year, you can do activities like this with your children all year round. In fact, in order to make the most significant and lasting impact on how they view the world, it is best to be consistent with your environmental teachings. The more excited you are to share with them, the more excited they will be to listen to what you have to say. Remember, keeping the conversation going is one of the most important things you can do for the planet! Get to growing!
