Of all the Earth Day craft ideas I've seen that get creative when it comes to reusing and recycling, I love the idea of making an actual Earth on this very important day.
Here are five cool Earth Day crafts for kids that we hope will encourage discussion and action.

If you're up for a challenge, this Plantable Paper Earth from Modern Parents Messy Kids (at top) is pretty fantastic. The best part? You can plant these earths in your garden and watch them grow. Grab some green and blue food coloring to make this DIY Earth Day play dough via The Gunny Sack. Then your kids can make the Earth into whatever shape they like. We can always count on our friends at Kiwi Crate for wonderful craft ideas, and their Earth Luminary is no exception. Yes, a bit messy, but the final result = adorable. Don't put away those Easter egg dyeing supplies yet! These Earth Day eggs by Amanda Formaro are a cool, easy craft for kids that can be edible too. How cool are these Earth Day crayons? They're pretty simple to make (as is the Earth Day play dough) and a wonderful classroom favor for the kids to bring to school.
