7 Easy, Fun Earth Day Activities for You and Your Kids

Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970.  Now, we celebrate it every year on April 22nd.

If you think Earth Day is just an American holiday, think again.  Earth Day is celebrated by 192 countries!

This collection of Earth Day ideas is meant to help you find fun, meaningful ways to celebrate the holiday with your children.  Enjoy!
