Hello, DIYers!
Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd and it’s a great time to talk with your kids about our planet, get closer to nature, and enjoy a good craft or activity! With these activities, you have a chance to discuss important issues facing the planet. You might choose to do a fun science experiment to learn about soil! You may choose to learn about the different types of plastic! Or maybe you’re just feeling extra creative and you want to create some fabulous wall art to put in a frame! Whichever route you choose to go, it’s important to remember that Earth Day is only one day of the year. If we talk with our kids and make a better effort into instilling positive, environmental habits in them now, we can help heal our planet!
Happy Earth Day, everyone!
