Creation/Earth Day Preschool Theme

Today is Earth Day so I decided to talk about the creation of our earth and ways we can take care of the earth with my son for preschool.

 I used some visuals I have from my mother from when I was growing up to tell of the Creation of the Earth.  These are also some really cute visuals to use when telling about the Creation.

To reinforce the idea that God created the earth we used this activity where my son cut out the letters and glued "God" where it was supposed to go in the story.

 I also used printables from this Earth Day Pack.

 I also used this printable book to color and talk about taking care of our earth.

 Here are some more Earth Day Printables.  We also got onto Starfall and did their Earth Day activity.

We watched the Scholastic Book DVD that has the story Trashy Town on it. You could also watch Planet Earth videos or Wall-E.

My son painted his own earth with a paper plate and blue and green paint.

I was going to have us go outside and pick up some trash and enjoy the beauty outside, but it is a stormy day so we'll have to enjoy our earth indoors.

Earth Day

We kept our Earth Day activities pretty light.  It was a beautiful day outside so we enjoyed our day by going outside and playing!

First we talked about the Creation.  Then we played a bingo game from Finch Family Games.  It was a fun bingo style game called, "Our Beautiful World".  I printed off a coloring page that went along with that as well however, that held no interest for my boys today.  We also explored the globe my oldest son has and played with a little quilt that one of his grandma's made for him that has the world on it. 

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
