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.

Cat Themed Learning Activities

I recently shared a bunch of dog-themed learning activities in honor of National Pet Month. Now it’s time for the cats (which are actually my favorite, shoutout to Baron and Haru!).

Homemade Heather has a great set of cat activity printable sheets including the life cycle of a cat, parts of a cat, a page kids can fill out about their cat and a little reading comprehension with a cat theme.

World of Printables has a super cute cat coloring page that asks you to color cats of different shapes in different colors and then count them. Like an I Spy, but with cats!

Speaking of shapes, give kids practice tracing basic shapes and writing the words for them (square, circle, oval, triangle, diamond, etc. there are 12 shapes in all) with these cat-themed printables from Tot Schooling. These would be good to laminate so you can use over and over while kids are learning about shapes.

Royal Baloo has a great printable cat pack that includes activities for toddlers up to third grade, so this is perfect if you’re homeschooling kids of different ages. There’s literacy and math activities in this pack, including shape tracing and matching for the little ones, beginning sounds and skip counting for pre-k kiddos and addition, multiplication, writing pages and more for older kids.

Fluffy Tots has a cute printable emergent reader on a cat theme, and Sunny Day Family has a super cute cat matching memory game you can print. Build a cat with the printable from PJs and Paint, or cut and fold a stretching cat with this activity from Krokotak.

1 Plus 1 Plus 1 Equals 1 has a cat unit study and printables for kids who are learning cursive writing. There are also three part cards about cats, a printable on scientific classification of cats and more.

Your Therapy Source shared this cute motor skill idea of using pipe cleaners as cat whiskers, which makes a fun quiet time activity or something kids can use in the car.

Take your love of cats on the go with this printable cat activity placemat from The Art Kit Blog. It includes a word search, maze, word scramble and some cats to color, tic tac toe boards and more.

Older kids can learn how to build Lego cats with these instructions from Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls.
