How to make a mini notebook with our I can help the Earth by worksheet
Step 1
Download and print the I can help the Earth by printable pdf. It comes with step-by-step instructions and the Earth day worksheet. You can print out the template on white A4 construction paper.
Step 2
Let the kids cut out all the parts of the template. Use the big plain circle template to cut out 6 circles from different colored papers.
Step 3
Hold all of those 6 circles together and staple two pins near to an edge. You will get a mini-book with 6 leaves. The first and last leaves will become the cover of the book.
Stick the Earth template with the wording-‘I can help the Earth by” on the top cover of your book. Now you can talk to the kids about each topic in the rest of the circles. There are 8 circles with simple graphics covering these points: turning off lights, saving water, recycling, being kind to animals, walking when you can, planting seeds, watering plants, and using both sides of a paper.
If there is a group of kids, you can ask each of them to choose a circle with an activity they want to do to save the Earth. This will also give them a sense of responsibility.
Step 4
Stick each small circle in the mini-book starting from the second leaf. Don’t forget to use both sides of the paper to stick the circles.
Finish sticking all the 8 circles in the mini-book and the kids are ready to display their project for Earth Day!
