Clean up the yard
Let your toddler help you keep your yard looking great all year! Pick up sticks and count them with your toddler. Talk about which sticks are big and which sticks are little. Allow your toddler to water the plants. Talk about the water and how it's wet and cold. Explain to your toddler that it will make the plants grow big.

Target the color green
Point to all things that are green outside such as the grass and trees. Talk about them with your toddler. Inside, you can find toys that are green and things in your house that are green. Let your toddler sort colors while focusing on the color green.
Keep in mind that you can do these activities with your toddler all year round, not just on Earth Day. It's very important that we keep our planet beautiful for generations to come!
