Talk With Your Toddler About Earth Day

0 Comments

 
Today, April 22, is Earth Day!  Earth Day is a day that is designated to celebrate our planet earth, appreciate nature, and learn how we can protect our environment.  Did you know that over 100 different countries join together to celebrate Earth Day?

Now is a great time to start teaching your toddler about Earth Day.  There are many different crafts, activities, and recipes you can do together with your toddler.  Check out these Kid Friendly Earth Day Snacks to tame your toddler's tummy.  Make an Earth Day craft with your toddler to keep him busy and entertained.  You can also try these Earth Day activities to help your toddler talk and communicate:

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.

Take a nature walk
Walk around your local park or neighborhood.  Point out the trees, flowers, plants, and leaves to your child.  Talk about them and touch them.  Smell the flowers and listen to the leaves blow in the wind.  Get the senses involved!

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!
