Earth Day is rapidly approaching, and celebrated annually on April 22nd. My family absolutely loves nature and the outdoors so I wanted to share 25 Kid Friendly Earth Day Activities. We like to try to do something Earth conscious everyday, from eating organic to walking instead of taking the car. Earth Day was started in 1970 to raise environmental awareness and concern for public health. Hopefully this list of activities can inspire you and your family to have fun and be Green this Earth Day!
