Earth Day Activity
Using paint and a plate, kids create beautiful one of a kind earth prints in this fun earth day activity.
Materials
- Blue and green tempera paint
- Thick paper plate
- White paper or 12 x 18 construction paper
- Crayons, scissors, glue Optional if you want to use the earth for another project
Instructions
- Squirt some blue paint on the back of a plate.
- Then squirt on some green paint.
- When both colors of paint are on the plate, carefully turn it over onto a piece of white paper. Slowly twist the plate so that the color will transfer to the white paper. Be careful to not move the plate back and forth or the earth print will lose its circle shape.

Notes
- If you have a young child, you might want to help them out with the paint-squirting step.
- Use a thick paper plate that feels more like cardboard to prevent the paint from bleeding through.
