Three pages after the cover. Page 1 has a you will need list, a picture of the finished craft and 6 steps. Page 2 is the Earth circle to color, and page 3 has a Happy Earth Day heart and two boxes to trace a left and a right hand.
Can I use the Paper Plate Earth Hug Craft at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 1st Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Preschool to 1st Grade Earth Day resources are there?

6 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 62 Earth Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Earth Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Earth Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for Preschool to 1st Grade students, roughly ages 4-7. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Earth Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 1st Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
