Earth Day

This Thursday is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.  We plan on doing at least one activity in honor of Earth Day this week.  Today, however, is Patriot's Day in Massachusetts and we are enjoying a relaxing day at home watching the Boston Marathon.  It is also school vacation week here so I might not be entering the blogosphere too much this week - we'll see.

Anyway, I thought I would leave you with our Earth Day activities from last year.  For complete directions for each craft, click on the highlighted text before each photo.

We made earth mosaics with play doh:

 

 We made puppets with recyclables:




and we made earth with coffee filters:



Have a wonderful week!

We used to live in Mass, I miss patriots day! Twice we went and watched the marathon, it was so motivational. Only enough to get me to going running a couple times though, lol! Enjoy your busy week!

You really made some cool Earth Day crafts last year. We might do a couple, and if we do the coffee filter Earths look like a good one, but my fave is the play doh Earth! But, then again, the puppets are so cute and cool too:-).

I hope you are having a happy day and a good week with R and C, and of course, T too:-).
