Do you have an environmentally-friendly home and lifestyle? If you turn off the water faucet in-between brushing, use LED light bulbs, recycle, grow your own food or have a compost, you’re well on your way to teaching your kids how to love this gracious and beautiful planet Earth. Earth Day is on April 22 and it’s a day to celebrate the Earth, its resources and nature, as well as commit “green” acts like planting fresh new trees. We also use this day to learn more about ways we can keep our planet safe, happy and resource-full.
It is never too early to start teaching children the importance of keeping our planet clean and learning how to reduce, reuse and recycle. With a little guidance and encouragement, kids can get creative helping and celebrating the earth this Earth Day.
Introduce your kids to Dinosaur Train, a popular PBS KIDS series we at Kiddie Academy sponsor. Dinosaur Train sparks children’s interest in life science and natural history. As they explore a variety of animals, children develop the inquiry skills and knowledge needed to help them think, talk and act like paleontologists.
Dinosaur Train has a deep commitment to inspiring its viewing audience and:
- Sparks children’s interest in the sciences of our planet, especially life science, natural science and paleontology.
- Develops inquiry skills that help children think like scientists.
- Provides core science knowledge to enable children to explore the worlds of life science, natural science and paleontology.
- Inspires children to visit local science and natural history museums, go on “fossil hunts,” and conduct their own explorations and investigations about our planet!
Dinosaur Train is great for kids who love Earth science and focuses on teaching important concepts in attention and listening, ecology and environment, geology, and much more.
