Earth Day is April 22! Get the kids involved with a little crafting! Below you’ll find over 15 crafts inspired by this annual event that is held to promote environmental protection. You’ll see that most of the crafts require things that you probably already have lying around the house like tissue paper, milk cartons, and yarn. Not only do many of them require recyclables, but they also provide you with the opportunity to teach your child more about Earth Day and this amazing planet that we live on! Ready to start crafting?
