Tis the season for packing lunches. I’ve gotten some emails asking for tips on how to pack a healthy school lunch and to “green” the lunch box. I have to say, when it comes to packing a healthy lunch I think parents have to keep in mind, the lunch room is competitive and there are [...]

Earth Day Activities, Games, Books and More for Teachers and Parents

greenandcleanmom — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 11:30:38 +0000

As a past preschool teacher I always LOVED teaching about Earth Day and celebrating this special day with a week long theme. It was so fun to have the children make recycled craft projects, pick trash up in a local park, visit the recycling station and experiment with natural products like baking soda and vinegar. [...]

I recommended Think Green for preschool teachers and parents to appropriately celebrate and teach children about Earth Day this April but another favorite that we read often is My Mom Hugs Trees. I’m pretty sure my son won’t tell his friends that I hug trees but I love the title and the front cover is [...]

Think Green

I love reading to my kids. I especially love reading to them about going green! It’s a natural fit and it’s something I really enjoy but NOT all books are geared towards early elementary or preschool. I just had this conversation with my son’s preschool teacher today. I was curious what their Earth Day plans [...]

Babies and sleeping, two words any new mom wants to hear. My daughter, she never wanted to be rocked as a baby, just give her space. My son, he only wanted to be held. Every child is different when it comes to sleep and we can read books, get tips, ask for advice and really [...]
