Kids can make a paper plate Earth craft to celebrate our planet on Earth Day or learn about the Solar System with this FREE printable template of the continents and easy directions.
To go along with our Earth Day Recycling Activity we made our very own Earth out of a paper plate. I scaled down the continents from our Geography Map Activities to make a printable template for this craft. Little Tiger (age 4, preschooler) chose to draw her own continents to decorate her paper plate with so it’s up to you and your kiddo how you want your Earth to look :). I must say, I love her hand drawn continents.
