Remember, these activities also double as ways to be more sustainable at home. Now, let&#8217;s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcycling Cans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Earth-Day-2.jpg\" alt=\"earth day crafts\" class=\"wp-image-7920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Earth-Day-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Earth-Day-2-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Go on a hunt for old cans and clean them out. They could be from canned foods or you could collect them from your neighbors.<strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Use a hammer and nail to make drainage holes in the bottom. Warn for safety and have parents do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Decorate! An opportunity for kids to be involved. Paint or decorate cans with stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planting Herbs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Fill cans with soil \u00be of the way up. Place seeds in and cover with another inch of soil. Repeat for each herb.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Water each pot thoroughly in the sink or with a saucer underneath to prevent leaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Create labels for each pot. Write what each herb is on a popsicle stick and then let kids color or decorate them. Place the right one in the corresponding pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Composting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Go-Green-2.jpg\" alt=\"earth day activities\" class=\"wp-image-7922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Go-Green-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Go-Green-2-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Grab a container with a lid. This is your designated compost bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Make it your mission to collect any and all food scraps! You can do this with anything but let\u2019s start small today with feeding our herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Sprinkle coffee grounds and crushed up eggshells into the pots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>If you want to go bigger, check locally for compost collection and store all of your food scraps in the bin or a freezer bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you had a great time participating in our Earth Day crafts.
