Encourage kiddos to plant something new this Arbor Day. Then, use our free Arbor Day coloring pages to remember it by!
What is Arbor Day?
Arbor Day, not to be confused with Earth Day, is celebrated on the last Friday in April.
Both Arbor Day and Earth Day, however, are considered to be environmental holidays.
That said, they do have completely different origins.
I encourage you to read the full history of Arbor Day to get a true understanding of what this holiday is all about.
Arbor Day truly is a magnificent thought, though, as it represents hope for the future, instead of celebrating something that has passed like most holidays.
So, get out there, plant something fresh and new, and watch it grow into something incredible, you guys!
Arbor Day Coloring Fun
While technically the best way to celebrate Arbor Day would be to plant something, more specifically, plant a tree.
However, getting creative indoors can be a simple alternative.
Maybe use some recycled paper for this one, though, haha!
All that said, any holiday is a great reason to take time off from the norm for some crafty and creative fun.
So, here I am with a new free printable to help you do just that.
As an avid nature lover who lives in a rural area, I truly love being surrounded by trees and breathing that fresh air every time I step outside my home.
So, naturally, creating these Arbor Day coloring pages was pretty exciting for me!
I made 2 fun options for you guys.
First up, I created a simplistic version of hands holding a new sprout with the text Celebrate Arbor Day.
Lastly, I made (my favorite) an adorable potted tree with the phrase plant something and watch it grow + Happy Arbor Day printed at the bottom.
These Arbor Day coloring pages are perfect for use at home or in the classroom, with or without the action of planting an actual tree.
However, I do highly encourage you to plant something if you can, you guys!
