Happy Earth Day! We’ve been enjoying the warm Spring weather and playing outside almost everyday! Caden has been learning all about taking care of the Earth through hands-on play. He loves exploring our little yard, looking for ants and sticks, digging in the dirt and playing with the sand table. In addition to outside play we’ve been celebrating Earth Day by learning a little about recycling. We recycled paper and made paper pulp which is a fun sensory material as well as great for crafting. We also explored recycling with a simple science table and reading lots of books about recycling!

I have lots of great ideas for learning about recycling and Earth Day on my Teach: Earth Day Pinterest Board! Check it out!
