We all grew up with Sesame Street and no matter what age, it’s super fun to see our old friends teach us new things. Well, just in time for Earth Day, the new season of Sesame Street airs on Saturdays at 9 a.m. (It also airs in Spanish on HBO Latino at that time) and I’m partnering with our friends from our favorite street to celebrate the greenest day of the year!
Some of my favorite Earth Day activities that help instill a love of nature and taking care of our planet with children include:
- Print out a calendar and draw a green star for each day that you do an activity that helps the earth!
- Join a beach or park cleanup with groups or organizations. If you can’t find one, start your own!
- Recycle old garments and accessories. Have clothes you don’t wear? Turn old jeans into a purse or old t-shirts into a quilt. Kids will love getting crafty.
- Plant a tree with your kids. Find an organization or park who is looking for planters and sign up to do it as a family.
- Get your green thumb dirty and start a garden! It’s healthy, fun, saves money and helps teach kids where their food comes from and how it all works!
In fact, check out the “Gardening Fun with Sesame Street” video, made by your friends at Sesame Street!
