Hi, happy Earth Day! Today is the 51st anniversary of Earth Day, a day to spread awareness about the impact our actions have on our planet and how we can effect change to protect it.

This year's Earth Day theme is Restore Our Earth and it aims to spread the idea that mitigation and adaptation are not the only ways to deal with the damage caused to the environment by humans. It proposes three more Rs to the already known Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and they are Remove, Refuse, and Rally.

+ Remove: Pick up trash in your neighbourhood and when visiting parks and beaches. (Check local safety guidelines first, and always use gloves)*

Earth Day aims to plant the seeds of environmental activism in all of us. On this day we renew our commitment to protect our Earth year-round. Everyone has the potential to make a difference in our world, like Greta Thunberg says, "no one is too small to make a difference", and the fight for the environment is the most critical issue we face, we only have one planet.

Greta Thunberg and her band of young environmental activists are living examples of the fact that children are the driving force behind the fight for Earth renewal and protection. To help you teach the little ones of the house or the little people that you know a bit about the environment and its protection we've made this printable mini activity booklet so they can learn and have fun at the same time.

This booklet includes colouring pages, a word search, a maze, a crossword puzzle, scrambled words, and a secret message, use it to teach kids about the species in danger of extinction, about the importance of pollinators, about the different types of pollution, and use it to teach them ecological concepts and terms and to inspire them to make positive changes and take action to protect their planet by decoding the secret message.

As always we hope this resource is useful to you and that it inspires your little ones to participate in making their home a better place. If you download and use it remember to share photos with #lalilucrafts, #lalilublog, @holalalilu, and or #wanderwondercreate so we can see them.
