EARTH DAY ACTIVITIES WITH KIDS By Sara Duggan
April 22nd will bring with it a day to remember that the Earth needs to be cared for as well as everything else in our lives. What can we do help you may ask? Where did “Earth Day” come from?
Earth day actually started with a number of events, which led to the official formation of “Earth Day” in the spring of 1970. For more detailed information about the formation of this important day, visit http://earthday.envirolink.org/history.html you will find Senator Gaylord Nelson’s article, the founder of “Earth Day.”
Many communities across the nation and worldwide have various activities that you can join in. Why not try to do something with your children or even as a family? What is your school doing? To find out what your community is doing on this special day go to http://www.earthday.net/ enter your zip code and city and search.
Activities you might do with children:
1. Go to the local grocery store before the 22nd and ask for some brown grocery bags. Have your family, friends, and schoolmates decorate them for Earth Day. Return them to the store so that they can be used on the 22nd to remind people to use paper or clothe bags.
2. Attend a local Earth Day Fair. Most colleges will have a fair with lots of information and free activities for the kids to do.
3. Plant a tree or spread some grass and/or wildflower seeds in areas that need some “life”.
4. Pick up trash and debris along the rivers and beaches. Please be sure to use gloves. Parents, please supervise your children.
5. For really little ones, you might just take them to the park and read them a wee story on creation or mother earth. They can play in the grass, feel the sand in their feet, watch the birds sing, and if old enough pick up after themselves after a lovely picnic. (speak to your toddler about the importance of picking up after ones self and the effect it has on the environment)
6. Walk to school or work.
7. Ride your bicycle.
8. Make a bird feeder out of a toilet tissue roll by covering it with peanut butter and then adding some birdseed. Hang it on a tree with some string.
9. Take the Ecological Foot Print quiz on this site http://www.earthday.org/Footprint/index.asp
10. Home Educators, Moms, Dads, and Teachers: Make a solar oven with your children and bake a pizza or grilled cheese sandwich for lunch!
11. Another really cool thing to do with your children is listen to “Dirt Made My Lunch” Cd by Banana Slug String Band you can hear Mp3’s at this site: https://www5.cruzio.com/w5a146/products.html#dirtlunch
12. Adopt a rainforest animal at Kids Domain http://www.kidsdomain.com/holiday/earthday/adopt.html
13. Go to Kids Club at Epa and request a free Planet Protectors Club Kit! I did this with my eldest when he was about 5 years old and he really enjoyed it. http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/osw/kids/pdfs/jellyjar.pdf (download link)
Above all, enjoy yourself. Spend time with your children and the Earth.

SUPERB MOVIE FOR ALL AGES
I’ve seen it three times and I will see it again. TAKE THE LEAD with Antonio Bandaras as the ballroom dancing instructor (Mr. Pierre DuLaine) for ‘the kids in detention’ is a superb movie. You will laugh, cheer and want to get up an boogie during and after this movie.
It is a true story and the program is spreading across the USA. I LOVE how he uses ballroom dance philosophy to teach the young people, the parents and teachers about respect, dignity, trust.
If you want to go and see it and want some company, give me a call. I’d see it again and again. I’m serious, call me! 705-693-5683.
Sure wish we could bring it to our schools…any takers?
