Most adults are familiar with the three Rs – reduce, reuse, and recycle, but we had to learn them at some point! Earth Day is a great opportunity to talk to your kids about our amazing planet and discuss different ways to take care of it and be good stewards.
These Earth Day coloring bookmarks are a fun way to start talking to your kids about ways to be good stewards and take care of our planet. Each bookmark has an Earth related joke on it, too – they’re super cute! There are four styles of bookmarks to choose from, so you kiddo can color their favorite or all of them! If you want to use them as bookmarks I would suggest printing them on cardstock or laminating them after you child is done coloring.

Tips for Using these Earth Day Bookmarks
The bookmarks look best when they are printed on white cardstock. The cardstock helps them hold up better with repeated use. You might also want to laminate them after your child is done coloring. Crayons, markers, and colored pencils all work well, but if you want to level up your bookmarks you can try glitter pens!
