Celebrate Earth Day with a 3D Earth craft for kids. It is an easy craft that will help little ones with their scissors cutting skills. They will have to cut and glue a 3D Earth that goes in the middle of a heart.
This isn’t only a fun craft but it also holds a sweet message about our Earth being in our hearts. We care about it and we can show it through this Earth in a heart project.
The template comes with two options: a colored Earth or one that kids can color themselves, for a more personal touch.

This 3D Earth craft is a nice addition to our Earth Day crafts. My kids have created many paper plate Earth crafts throughout the years, from this paper pate yarn Earth to this heart paper plate craft.
Our collection also includes one Earth art project that is such a wonderful idea to try at home or in the classroom. We had ours above the fireplace for many years, around Earth Day.
