Here is a collection of amazing Earth Day activities for kids that I have created for this blog and for several others. These crafts, science tools, and activities feature items that have been recycled and reused. Wait! There are a few Earth Day themed snacks and one or two activities that are not recycled. They were too much fun to leave out of this collection.
Greater Than and Less Than Egg Carton Gator
Paper Bag Turkey (Using newspaper, bread tags, and paper bags)
Plastic Lettuce Box Terrarium
Homemade Animal Tunnels
Egg Toss Bottles
Challenge
If you have a recycling bin at your house, I want to challenge you to sift through it with your children. I bet that you will find that you come up with lots of fun ideas as you look through the items it contains. There will be things that would be great building materials, crafting items, math manipulatives, etc…
If you take this challenge, please come back and tell me what you have decided to use one of the items for. Feel free to stop by my Facebook page. There will be a series of Facebook Earth Day idea posts there where you can share them.
For more Earth Day activities to do with children please stop by my Earth Day board on Pinterest.

The elephant cd puppet is so cool! I have many old scratched discs I could use.
I love the egg carton gator! The best idea up there is that awesome bottle fish mobile! What a great idea! I need a cute, colorful mobile for my little guy, so I think we’re gonna have to do this!
what a great looking group of Earth Day activities 🙂
