Earth Craft Instructions
Take out all the simple materials because we’re going to have a fun crafting day!
Choose which of these printables your child likes to make first and print it on a white paper.
My preschooler usually prefers to get the black and white version so they have the chance to fill it in with different colors.
If your child is already familiar with using scissors, encourage them to cut out the Earth craft into individual pieces.
Using a glue stick, attach the green parts which are the trees onto the outer layer.
There’s no right or wrong in this craft, your child can assemble the pieces however they would like.
This lovely Earth Day craft is perfect to include in your kids’ Science project.
