    Inside this pack you’ll find a variety of low-prep Earth Day activities and printables. You can also find some ideas for celebrating our amazing planet all year around. Students should understand that taking care of our world is an important responsibility. One they can begin no matter how old they are. It’s an awesome privilege to look after the world that looks after us so well!
