With Earth Day being recognized this month, it is a great time to teach your children about taking care of their environment. We are called to be good stewards of all that God has provided us with; one of these things is the world around us, the beauty of creation.
Activities to try as a family:
Garbage Walk - Go for a walk as a family, wear gloves, bring a garbage bag and pick up any trash that you encounter on your walk.
Recycling - Have your child participate in recycling at home or visit a recycling depot to see what can be recycled.
Make a recycled craft - Use only materials that have been used to create something. Take a picture of the project.
Talk about ways to save water, electricity, and other items that are commonly wasted. Try picking a place that your family might normally drive to and choose to walk or bike instead. Keep track on a Calendar of the ways that your child cut back on consumption.
Make a worm compost.
* Make sure that you let me know about any ways that your child takes care of the environment. :)
