PrintWorks offers a variety of fun, eco-friendly printable crafts that are perfect for celebrating Earth Day, and one standout option is their Earth origami download. This downloadable craft is a wonderful blend of creativity and sustainability. You simply print the design, follow their helpful instructional video to learn how to fold the paper into an Earth shape, and you’re all set! For a more budget-friendly option, consider printing it in black and white, and then let the kids get creative by coloring it in. This not only saves ink but adds a personal touch to the craft.

In addition to the origami, there are several other delightful printables available. You’ll find a set of bookmarks to color, which are a fun and practical way to celebrate Earth Day while encouraging reading. There’s also a charming printable Earth Day banner that’s perfect for classroom or home decor, helping to set the tone for a green-themed celebration. For those who enjoy a little more advanced crafting, PrintWorks provides a forest scene SVG file for cutting machines, as well as an engaging tree string art project made with cardstock, which adds a hands-on, tactile element to your crafting experience.

These printables are wonderful low-prep options that make it easy to integrate Earth Day activities into your home or classroom. They’re not only fun and creative but also offer an opportunity to teach kids about sustainability and the importance of protecting our planet. Whether you’re looking for quick, simple activities or more involved crafts, these Earth Day printables provide something for everyone. Plus, they’re great for continuing eco-conscious crafting long after the Earth Day celebrations are over.

America 250 Fourth of July Activities for Kids

A lot of kids aren’t in school for the Fourth of July, but whether you’re in a classroom or at home, you’ll probably want to mark July 4, 2026, in a special way because it is America’s 250th birthday. And there are lots of ways to learn and celebrate, as we’ll see below.

The Homeschool Bee has a big bundle of resources for the big day, including timelines, information about the founding fathers, silly word fill ins, pages showing the evolution of the American flag and information on constitutional amendments. In all it is 35 pages and it’s great for a variety of ages. You can find it on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Another printable activity set, this one aimed at grades 2-5, is available on TpT from George Kipriot Classroom Resources. This one includes a word search, crossword puzzle, maze, word scramble, coloring pages and more, plus a timeline and reading about the Declaration of Independence.

It wouldn’t be a birthday party without party hats, and there are a few different versions of print, color and cut party hats with a patriotic theme at Teachers Pay Teachers. The Internet Research Project has a set with an Uncle Sam kind of hat, a crown with the Statue of Liberty on it and one that says America 250.

There’s also a Happy Birthday America hat from Sweet Sensations, which features the years, fireworks and the Statue of Liberty and declaration of Independence.

You can find a lot of Fourth of July coloring pages with a 250th birthday theme. For example Britts Digital Paper Co on Etsy has some cute pages, including a patriotic goose reading a book for some reason (I also like their printable firework craft). eParenting also has an America 250 coloring page that includes the shape of the country and an American flag.

And if you want to try some more general Fourth of July projects, check out this collection of patriotic STEM activities from Homeschool Giveaways. Make your own “fireworks,” sensory activities, make a fizzy flag, build a graham cracker White House and more.
