April 22, is Earth Day. Every Year as Planetpals, we want to celebrate in a special way!
We took a look back at some of our Earthday activities with family. As you can imagine, we have found many ways to celebrate through the years. Everything from making recycle crafts and foods, to attending Earth Day celebrations and a simple walk in the park.
Later, we packed a healthy picnic and headed to the Boston Common to enjoy the wonders of springtime.
It's not complicated to teach kids to love Earth and care for their world. Basic things like learning about flowers, trees and animals can make a lasting impression on children. Taking a walk and spotting litter can lead to dialog about responsibility. Every step can lead to an adventure in learning, and on Earthday, we wanted it to be about Earth.
Our Earthday did just that. No Earthday cake, No Earthday parade, No big crowd. Just us PLANETPALS partaking in our beautiful world. Learning to love it. Learning to care for it. Learning to create it.
