Paper Plate Earth Craft Kids Will Love
Earth day is always a great opportunity to get crafty with the kids and teach them the importance of protecting the environment, keeping the earth beautiful and clean and doing our part.
I find learning about pollution quite fascinating and have been chatting to my own daughter about keeping our garden clean and green and being careful to recycle and put the rubbish in the right bins.
Today we have a fantastic paper plate earth craft that is perfect for timing for Earth Day and perfect for learning about the world. Enjoy.
