Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22. It’s the perfect time to teach children how to take care of our planet. I love crafting with my boys, so I try to make sure we use recycled materials as much as possible. If you’re looking for an easy art project to celebrate this holiday, check out this cardboard Earth.
