EARTH DAY - PROTECT OUR EARTH

Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for environmental protection.  

We also want to create awareness to our children in school, getting them to be active in protecting our Mother Earth.  

Let's watch this cartoon with your child and explain to them the important of saving earth.

There are some simple ways to introduce environmentalism to your child that can be both enjoyable and education; Try it out with your child now:

1. Grab a plastic bag and some rubber gloves and pick up litter in your neighbourhood. Talk about why we don’t litter, from aesthetic reasons to health and safety reasons for both animals and humans.
2. Make a nature collage. Your toddler can collect natural items “discarded” by nature (think bark and old leaves) and glue them to some paper.
3. Have your own “Earth Hour” (the idea of lights out for an hour). Talk about why it’s important to conserve electricity.
4. Read some children’s books about the environment or nature. Check your local library for ideas

You may want to bring your child to join the following activities out of the house:
