Earth Day Papier Mache Globe

Happy bEARTH Day to you! Earth day isn't the day that our planet was born, but we can still treat it like it is. Just like on your birthday when everyone treats you really nicely, buys you presents, and does things that make you happy, on Earth's special day you can do the same by participating in Earth Day activities. If you don't know what to get the Earth for its bEARTH Day this year, AllFreeKidsCrafts has gathered 45 Earth Day crafts and activities to help you celebrate with our planet. Two of the things that make the Earth extra happy are when you recycle and when you plant flowers to keep Earth healthy and green. This Earth Day, see if you can do both.

Twelve of the Earth Day crafts below are made from recycled materials like egg cartons, toilet paper tubes, and water bottles. The Earth is overjoyed when instead of throwing away your recyclables, you use them for something else. That's because the Earth loses a lot of space when all of the trash gets thrown out rather than reused or recycled. Below you'll find adorable Earth Day crafts that are perfect for spring and made from recycled materials. It would certainly be a wonderful bEARTH Day if you crafted with items you've already used.

Earth would also be so very grateful if you planted on its day of celebration. When you plant, you're helping the Earth stay green and happy. Plant flowers, grass, vegetables, or anything else you can find. A colorful Earth is a happy Earth, so choose red tomatoes, purple flowers, green grass, and orange carrots to plant into our wonderful planet. Some of the great Earth Day activities and garden crafts below help you plant in creative ways.

Wow the Earth when you recycle and plant at the same time with the Water Bottle Flower Pot. After you've helped the Earth with your recycled materials crafts and Earth Day activities, finish off the party with some Earth Day crafts that simply celebrate the Earth. Any globe craft that reminds you how important our planet is and how essential it is that we keep it healthy will be the perfect way to end the day.

Remember that one person's trash is another's treasure, and sometimes, like in these Earth Day crafts, your own trash can be your own treasure.
