Montessori-Inspired Activities for Earth Day Every Day

Three weeks ago, my Activity of the Week was Montessori-inspired Earth Day Activities. Last week, I continued to focus on the earth with Continent Map Work. Even though the official Earth Day was April 22, that doesn’t mean Earth Day activities should stop. Ideally, of course, Earth Day is every day.

Layers of the Earth Activity

Even if your focus changes a bit, this is a great time of year to continue studying the earth as a follow-up to Earth Day. A great example of a follow-up activity would be the activity shown in the photos. The photos of the playdough earth and layers of the earth are from the Layers of the Earth post by Jojoebi at A Bit Of This And A Bit Of That…

The activity uses the free printable Layers of the Earth cards from Cultivating Dharma. This activity isn’t just for preschoolers and would be great for multi-level learning in a homeschool.
