Nothing says “happy Earth Day” like a free printable Earth Day word search, am I right? 🙃 Okay, okay, when you think of Earth Day, the first thing that comes to mind probably isn’t downloadable Earth Day worksheet PDFs like this one. However, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a great option for your celebration.
There are three reasons I think free Earth Day printables, like this free printable Earth Day word search, are a great way to celebrate this planet we call home. Ready? Let’s dive in!
The Free Printable Earth Day Word Search is Indoor Friendly
Depending on where you live, April 22nd (Earth Day) may not lend itself to venturing outside. If the weather where you live is cold or dreary, free Earth Day printables may be just the thing. Printables allow you to still commemorate the occasion without braving the icky weather.
Another set of free Earth Day printables you may be interested in are these Planet Earth coloring pages.
Earth Day Worksheets PDFs are Educational
I think the best Earth Day activities help kids learn something about the Earth, the environment, or conservation efforts. The free printable Earth Day word search has 20 words for your kids to hunt for, and all of those words are related to the Earth and protecting it. As your kids search for words like “reduce,” “reuse,” and “recycle,” start a conversation about how you and the whole fam can be kinder to the planet.
How can you reduce the waste you create? How can you recycle more?
Any efforts you decide to implement don’t have to be big and inconvenient. It could be something as simple as implementing an official leftover night in your home, starting a compost pile, or thinking about food storage differently and opting for reusable containers over things like one-use baggies.
Tip: Make your free Earth Day printables, like this word search, more environmentally friendly by printing them on recycled paper.
