Here are some other fun Earth Day activities brought to us by our friends at the Ogden Nature Center. Again, this is all optional:
Stuck at home and looking for earth day activities. Try one from the list below.
Rock Painting - Have your kiddos find, wash and paint rocks to make garden decor or place along a trail or path. Give them a challenge by asking them to paint many rock to create a shape like a snake or snail.
Scavenger Hunt - Challenge your child to a backyard nature challenge. Use the list attached or create your own. A fun way to do this activity is to write the items on a piece of paper, fold them up and place them in a jar or hat. Have your child pick one item at a time and find it in their backyard. When they find it they can grab a new challenge from the jar.
