Things to make with your earth day coloring pages

Play the sorting game

Color the sorting trash page, then draw a line from each item to the bin where it belongs. Check your answers against your local recycling rules.

Follow the water

On the water cycle page, trace the path of one raindrop with your finger, then color the water in the same blue at every stage so the loop stands out.

Plant something

Color the seed-to-tree page, then plant a seed in a cup of soil and keep a note of how many days it takes to sprout.

Each picture is an individual vector PDF. Print on US Letter, or choose “Fit to page” for A4. Try one copy first to check the margins.
