Hi All!! Happy Earth Day 2020!!!

• Marker/googley eyes/crayon/additional paper or stickers (to make face)

Instructions:

1. Using the supplies or ideas listed above, create a round blue base for the planet Earth.
2. Cut up pieces of green paper or color in areas of green for the land on the earth.

I hope this simple craft inspires some conversation about the planet and how we as it’s caretakers can make a difference. Here is a video that my kids enjoyed to help explain what Earth Day is about: https://youtu.be/PePymheJcbc.
