Coloring Earth Day

3-5· All Freebies· PK-2

Earth Day activities for elementary students

Plus, it’s a cool way to recycle all those leftover broken crayon bits in your crayon bins before the end of the year.  

Look at you being prepared and already cleaning up spaces before the end of the year rush arrives!  {As a side note:  I am NOT crafty at all and I adore how these actually look like mini Earths.}
