Earth Day Handprint Craft

With everything going on in the world right now, I think it’s essential that we all stop and marvel at really just how magical our Earth is. For kids, it’s important for them to know just how one person can make a big difference. That was the inspiration behind our Earth Day Handprint Craft.

Kids, they have the whole world in their hand. Now, literally, with this Earth Day craft. It’s such a fun idea, and a great way to honor and celebrate our Earth while also being an important reminder at doing our part. Every little hand. The whole world, it rests in those small hands.

We started by very roughly drawing the Earth on the cardstock. Especially for littler kids, it helps them know where the colors should go.
