Simple Ways to Celebrate Earth Day With Your Family

• Make a game out of timing water usage – ie. baths, showers, brushing teeth, etc. Try to beat it the following day.
• Grow a garden – Earth Day (or any day really) is a great time to get started on your garden.  Help your children choose seeds and plants that will flourish in your garden.
• Make an effort to catch unused water in a pitcher and use it to water your garden.

• Take a walk and find some leaves, twigs, rocks and start a collection.
• Walk instead of drive.  Somewhere.  Anywhere.
• Make a bird feeder out of  a can.
• Decorate a canvas re-usable grocery bag and then use it!
• Make a play-doh earth (you could even make your own play-doh!)
• Make bottle cap magnets.

• Gather up recyclables in your house and take your children to the recycle center.  Let them ask questions and learn about the process.
• Take a walk and help clean up your neighborhood – bring a bag (and gloves!) and see what a difference your family can make.
• Gather up the family and head to your nearest garden center (preferably on bike).  Let your kids pick out a plant or seeds that they can plant when you get home.
