Celebrate the Earth
Every year, we celebrate the Earth on April 22. Find some fun Sparkler activities to help young children learn about — and celebrate — our planet!
Providers can search for these activities in the Library on Sparkler’s dashboard and share with families. Families can browse through Play to find them independently.
Exploring Nature: Go outside to look for objects from nature.
Trash Masterpiece: Many famous artists create art from trash — bottle caps, car parts, paper tubes, and old magazines. Create a piece of art from things in our trash cans and recycling.
Repeating Recycling: Create a pattern from objects you find in the recycling (like bottle – can – bottle – can). Guess what the pattern is!
Paint Nature: Go outside and look at nature. Talk about the colors and shapes that you see. Bring something you find home to to inspire a painting!
Nature Collage: Collect objects from outside and then use them to make self portraits.
Sunset Stroll: Take a walk at sunset.
Grow Garden, Grow! Act out different types of weather and what it does to plants.
Home Gardener: Sprout kitchen veggies and see what will grow.
Appreciate the Earth: Take a nature walk with your baby.
Earth Explorer: Go to the park and make a nature obstacle course.
Musical Weather: Make weather sounds with your body.
