Earth Day Poem
Years ago, I taught preschool out of my home. The kids always loved it when we would create something. And Earth Day was no different. To start, I used to teach my preschool kids the following poem every Earth Day –
Some parts of the Earth are cold and wet,
Some parts of the Earth are dry and hot.
I’ll do my best to keep Earth clean,
‘Cause it’s the only Earth we’ve got!
Cute, right?
To go along with this poem, I also created this fun Earth Day craft for my class that they always seemed to LOVE! Here is how to make it:

I love Earth day crafts! Just what I was looking for!
So glad you like it! Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome! My kids will have fun with this – such a cute way to celebrate Earth Day!
Thanks April!
The prettiest Earth Day craft! One that I’ll be proud do display and talk about for months to come. My kids will love it!
Thanks Lisalia!
Really fun craft. We can not begin young-enough to build a love for Mother Earth. Earth day is a great way to start, but we must carry it through year round, I believe/
I like this idea! It’s so simple, but looks great and it’s perfect for a preschooler to do on their own. Thanks!
🙂 Such a simple and neat idea. I’ll share with parents looking for preschool age craft. And Thank you as well for sharing Stephanie.
