If you’re looking for a holiday that will educate your child and encourage him or her to give back, look no further than Earth Day! Held each year on April 22nd, Earth Day calls for us to celebrate, conserve, and learn how we can care for this planet we call home.
Worried that maybe these Earth Day printable coloring pages aren’t exactly the most eco-friendly option? I hear you, and I appreciate that concern. As I share these free Planet Earth coloring pages, I will be including tips on how to make the activity truly Earth Day-worthy!

Make it eco-friendly tip: Reuse what you have at home!
A super simple way to cut down on waste is to reuse what you already have whenever possible. When you print these Planet Earth coloring pages (or any coloring pages, for that matter), you have a few different options.
You can reuse paper.
You can recycle crayons.

Make it eco-friendly tip: Buy natural and/or sustainable products to use on your Earth Day printable coloring page.
If you can’t reuse items at home or purchase recycled goods, consider purchasing items that are all-natural and will biodegrade or are sustainable/recyclable.
Celebrating and conserving the Earth doesn’t automatically mean giving up fun and creative hobbies like coloring. You and your child can enjoy Earth Day coloring pages and do something good for the planet simply by reusing what you already have at home or making smart purchases.
