Kids are the focus for April on Ignite. The Sneaky Chef, our celebrity chef and blogger, has been giving us helpful tips on how to sneak healthy foods into our kids’ diets. Rebecca Mohning, a registered nutritionist, has been showing us what’s in the food we eat in her weekly label series. And for our “Fun Fridays”, we’d like to share our tips and ideas for fun activities to do with your kids.
And this Friday is no exception. Today I thought we could look at fun activities in celebration of Earth Day. As many of you know, this Sunday marks the 37th annual Earth Day holiday, the day to give back to the environment and to work together to protect the planet. And it is also a great opportunity to teach your kids the importance of caring for the environment and reminding them to reduce, reuse and recycle. Start off with small ideas like encouraging your children to shut off the water when brushing their teeth, teaching them what the recycling symbols mean or planting a tree in the backyard. These are all great ways to promote the Earth Day spirit and instill a respect for nature.
But most importantly, remember to have some FUN on this Earth Day. Begin by clicking on the links below. This cool puzzle you can print out and do with your kids and this interactive game you can do online are two great ways to engage your kids and teach them about giving back to the environment.
