Happy Earth Day! Today, I thought I’d share with you three simple ways to celebrate Earth Day with kids.

As I’ve said before, kids are never too young to learn to love and care for our planet! With so much going on in our world these days, a bit of kindness can go a really long way.

There are so many simple little things that we can do to foster kindness and empower our kids to do the right thing and start thinking about how their actions can have lasting effects on our planet.

Here are 3 Simple Ways to Celebrate Earth Day

Start a Garden

There are plenty of small steps you can take to create a greener garden (and world) and help celebrate Earth Day at home! Plant something special right in your back yard or start a fun container garden that your kids will love. You can even enlist the help of your kids and plant a new tree that will help purify the air and give wildlife a new home. You might even want to start a compost pile and convert your kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich food for your soil. It’s a great way to take care of our planet, add less trash to a landfill, and make your garden and plants happy!

Watch an Eco-Friendly Movie

Grab the entire family and curl up on the couch to watch a movie on Earth Day! Take this opportunity to strike up conversations around the different ways we can help our planet. I previously put together a list of eco-friendly movies you can watch with the entire family — animated movies and documentaries included. My hope is that you’ll find this list useful and discover a few good eco-friendly movies that your kids would love to watch.

Attend a Special Earth Day Event Virtually

It’s no secret that my kids love watching YouTube videos! Which is why I was so excited to learn that one of our favorite kid-friendly YouTube channels would be hosting a special Earth Day event this year. It’s the perfect way to engage little kids in the conversation and a really fun way to celebrate Earth Day together!
