Tissue Paper Earth Day Craft Directions

Before beginning the tissue paper Earth Day craft, I explain to the students that the blue squares represent the water and the green squares represent the land. At this point, I show them a picture of the Earth so that they can see the distinction between the water and land.

As a dedicated Kindergarten teacher for nearly 20 years, I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!
