Earth, Earth Day and Recycling
Talk:
What do your preschoolers know about their environment? This is a good time to talk about animals or plants or other parts of the natural world. I suggest also talking about how to take care
of the world. April 22 is Earth Day, a natural time to talk about caring for the world. READ Books:
