6 Earth Day Themed Treats

This Friday is EARTH DAY! I love Earth Day, every year it's so much fun to plant things, do the recycling, and get started on our veggie garden. It's forecast to rain, which is great because the more rain, the more things grow. But when it rains, it's also a great day for baking- so why not make a few earth day themed goodies?

2. Earth Day Popcorn by Simple As That

3. Earth Day Cookies by Tammilee Tips

4. Frog Pond Cookie Cups by Baby Loving Mama

5. Sprout Cupcakes by A Mitten Full of Savings

6. Earth Day Reveal Cupcakes by Tablespoon

These would all look amazing if you combined them for an Earth Day party- and you could have party games like planting trees and flowers, or watering the existing ones.

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day, everyone! I hope that wherever you are, the forecast is sunny and fairly warm. It has been so hot here in Oregon, and the school doesn't have air conditioning so I'm pretty much always hot. But what are you planning on doing this earth day? Staying inside with your sleepy cat and your iPad? That's what I thought- my sister does that every day and Earth Day probably isn't going to make a difference in her routine. But even if it's pouring rain outside, you should grab a rain coat and an umbrella (and some boots, too) and get outside! It's a great day to go on a hike with your dogs, or go camping, or just go out for a picnic. Here's a list of 30 things you can do this Earth Day. 

1. Have a picnic. 

2. Plant a garden.

3. Go on a hike with your dogs.

4. Plant some fruit trees. 

5. Plant a pine tree, or any kind of tree you like. 

6. Go camping. 

7. Look up at the stars. 

8. Eat dinner outside. 

9. Go for a bike ride.

10. Go fishing. 

11. Do the recycling. 

12. Recycle a cardboard box into something new. 

13. Recycle a paper bag into something new. 

14. Use an old water/soda bottle to make ocean in a bottle. 

15. Climb a tree and stay in the tree (tell people before you do this, or else they will cal the cops because they think you're missing but really you're just sitting in a tree).

16. Make labels for your garden. 

17. Fill a bottle with dirt, rocks, grass, herbs, plants, etc. and fill it with little bugs and worms to make yourself a little habitat to care for.

18. Make DIY bird feeders using pine cones, peanut butter, and birdseed- hang them up and observe the birds eating their food.

20. Make a rock garden. 

21. Pick flowers (not wildflowers, that's bad).

22. Paint, draw, or sketch outside. 

23. Hang up a hammock. 

24. Have a photo shoot with all your friends.

25. If it's not fire season yet, build a campfire and roast chicken and s'mores.

26. Collect different leaves and do some leaf rubbings.

27. Play with sidewalk chalk.

28. Teach a younger sibling how clouds are made, or how plants grow and work.
