Encourage kids to color the Earth and recycle this Earth Day with our FREE Earth Day coloring pages!
What is Earth Day?
Earth Day is celebrated each year on April 22 and began in 1970.
Incredibly, 2020 marked the 5oth anniversary of Earth Day, where, unfortunately, most activities had to be moved online due to the pandemic.
I encourage you to check out the full historical timeline of Earth Day and share it in your classroom or homeschool this year!
All that said, this day has always been about raising awareness and encouraging everyone to do their part in taking care of our precious world!
Earth is being destroyed at an alarming rate, and it’s a great concern to all of us.
We can all do better, and honestly, we should want to!
Fun Earth Day Coloring Pages
While Earth Day is an important day for raising awareness of pollution, our need to recycle, and reminding us to care for our lands, it’s also a really great time to teach through activity-based learning.
Plus, any holiday is a great excuse for crafting and creating, you guys!
As for me, I totally view every single holiday as a reason to make a free printable, so here we are!
A couple of years ago, I shared this fun list of Earth Day activities with you guys, and it hit me this year that up until now, I had made zero Earth Day printables!
So, I started with simple Earth templates and a recycle symbol, and now here I am sharing even more fun with you all!
All that said, I had a lot of fun creating these Earth Day coloring pages, and I’m so excited to finally share them.
I created 3 simple options that work well with most ages and should fit all your Earth Day classroom needs.
First up, I made a simple Earth with a sprout and the words Earth Day — representing our world and the need to focus on new growth and caring for our planet!
Second, I created a Make Earth Day Every Day coloring page showcasing our world in heart form — representing our world being held and cared for year-round.
Lastly, a recycling Earth Day coloring page to encourage children to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
I truly hope these pages are useful for your classroom or homeschool and help motivate your children to work towards building a better world, as we all should!
