Earth Month is a perfect opportunity to teach your children the importance of taking care of our planet and learning to be responsible for our environment. It’s also a wonderful way to spend time together. A great eco activity to engage your children in is to start a compost heap. Composting is nature’s way of recycling. It’s also a terrific way to teach children about the natural life cycle. You can purchase a compost bin at a local garden centre, or create your own by piling uncooked organic leftovers such as potato peelings, apples cores, eggshells and coffee grounds in corner in your garden.
Start a vegetable garden and teach them the benefits of organic produce. There are so many ways you can teach your children to care for the planet and make it fun family activity.
